Clothing we need We don't have much room to store clothing, so we give out only a few items and provide referrals to clothing distribution agencies for the rest. The things we need are:

Please don't donate any other clothing. We don't have the personnel to sort it or the space to store it. You can call Carin if you have something specific you think we might want.

If you like to contribute but would rather send us the money and have us buy the items, use this link to our Buy-A-Supply page.

How can you get these items to us? We can pick them up if you can't drop them off. Call Carin at (773) 278-6724. Please call us if you have something that would be helpful to the homeless.
