How Volunteers Will Help

Volunteers will play a crucial role in preparing donated clothing for distribution by:

  • Receiving clothing donations from community members.

  • Sorting clothing into various categories (e.g., men’s, women’s, children’s, professional attire, casual wear, etc.).

  • Folding and bagging items by category in preparation for distribution.

  • Fulfilling charity orders by selecting donated items requested by partner organizations.

  • Loading vehicles to deliver donations to local charities.


Last year's Community Clothing Closet Event Impact

In 2024, thanks to the dedication of our volunteers and generous donors, we:

Sorted nearly 16,000 articles of clothing
Processed a grand total of 56,098 new and used items
Organized over 750 pairs of shoes

Each of these new and used items were distributed across Central Florida. This incredible effort helped countless individuals and families gain access to essential clothing, empowering them with dignity and support during challenging times.

The Impact of Clothing Drives on Community Dignity

Samantha Espanosa of the One Heart Foundation, one of the many organizations who received last year's clothing drive donations to distribute to the community, shared her insight on the benefits of these events, stating,

“We see a lot of people who are experiencing homelessness, some who are with their kids living in their car, some who are living in camps in the woods, so this just helps us make sure that even if it’s a day or two worth of clothing we can give them something clean and ready to go. It’s just really nice to give them this little dignity piece where they don’t have to be in the same outfit.”
