CLOTHING and LINEN ROOM




SHARE accepts donations of seasonal clothing, shoes and household linens and provides them free of charge to Share neighbors. The Clothing and Linen Room is co-located with the Food Pantry in the McLean Baptist Church.
​
​Clothing donations are sorted by volunteers by size and gender. Shoppers choose what they need.​
Donations can be placed in the storage bins outside door #8 of the McLean Baptist Church at any time. Our volunteers empty the sheds daily.
How to Help
​​
-
We ask that you only donate clothes in-season (i.e. shorts in the summer, coats in the winter) because our space is limited.
​​
-
We need volunteers to help manage the clothing rooms every Wednesday and Saturday. If you are interested, please visit our volunteer page.
​​
-
One of the most effective ways to collect needed clothing and linens for Share is to hold a drive at your school, business, community or religious organization. Students can receive community service credits for organizing a drive.
​
-
SHARE cannot accept donations between mid-December and mid-January. Our vounteers deserve a holiday break! Please hold your donations until after the holiday season.
