Bring a friend!

The 2025 Central Clothing Free Give-Away is just a month away. Please start collecting now!

Your donations are often a lifeline for our neighbors in need.  You are helping families, men and women interviewing for employment, struggling young people, children in school, teens, seniors, and more.

Please consider donating items in good condition for Central’s 2025 Clothing Giveaway.  It’s a practical, hands-on way to serve real needs in our communities.

Look for a sign-up link to volunteer for sorting and organizing clothes and staffing the day of the event.

You can help with the donation drive in October:

Volunteers are needed in October to begin sorting clothes and organizing the event under the direction of Kim Meagher and Kathleen Nuetzel. 

Throughout the month of  October, donations can be dropped off in bins in the Concourse. Volunteers are needed for sorting donations weekly throughout October.  All volunteers are welcome!  If you can help for one day or a few, you are making a difference.  

Please help by donating items in clean and good condition for adults, teens, and kids. 
We also collect food items for breakfasts and bag lunches.
