Make a Difference - Donate Summer Clothes

Taking a second look at your summer wardrobe? You can clean out your closets and make a difference in someone’s life by donating summer clothing to The Clothes Closet at Good Neighbors. The Riverside soup kitchen, food pantry and day shelter serves those in need in our community.

Donations of clean, gently used clothing are always welcome. Men’s jeans, shorts, T-shirts, polo shirts, short sleeve shirts, light jackets, socks and sneakers are needed. Women’s jeans, capris, shorts, tops, light jackets, socks, sneakers and sandals are in demand, especially in larger sizes. All clothing should be washed and free of stains or tears. Backpacks and toiletries, such as deodorant, shampoo, lotion, body wash, razors and toothpaste are also distributed and are most welcome.

Items can be delivered from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. weekdays to Good Neighbors, located on the lower level of St. Brendan School, Riverside. Use the entrance at the back of the building on Dorr Avenue.
