Our Clothing Room contains clothing and footwear for men, women and children and is open to those in need for shopping on the first Saturday of every month from 10am- 12pm and the third Thursday of each month from 5-7pm. Stop by to "shop" for free. Our clothing is "swapped out" twice a year to accommodate the changing seasons here in WNY. We will have spring/summer items, and then fall/winter. If you cannot make one of these advertised times, please contact us to arrange a time that better fits your schedule. If you have a specific need, please contact us and we will do our best to assist you. Watch our social media for updates on our clothing rooms. Please note: The Clothing Room does not have Saturday or Thursday hours in January, but is open by appointment.
