St. Anthony’s Free Clothing Program (FCP) is San Francisco’s largest free clothing program. FCP provides fresh, clean clothes, to low-income families and individuals, including those who are experiencing homelessness.
St. Anthony’s Free Clothing Program serves guests through our Individual Clothing Service and Family Clothing Service. It is our goal to distribute the highest quality of clothing possible to ensure that our guests have a positive and dignified experience.
We are in need of volunteer support to help us process our donated clothing for distribution. Tasks will include sorting, folding, hanging, and quality checking clothing and assisting as personal shoppers for guests. Volunteer shifts may also include creating emergency clothing kits and hygiene item kits.
Shifts:
Monday-Friday 8:30am-12pm
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 1pm-4pm
Saturdays 9:30am-12:00pm, 1:15pm-4:00pm
Signing up to volunteer is easy, just sign-up on our Volunteer Shifts Calendar https://www.stanthonysf.org/shifts/ or email us at volunteer@stanthonysf.org.
*Please note that we require all volunteers coming on-site to be fully vaccinated and show proof of vaccination against photo ID at their first shift.

In the Tenderloin’s struggle with poverty, addiction, and mental illness, St. Anthony Foundation has been a beacon of consistency, companionship, and caring for more than 70 years. We are a place of Hope, a gateway to Stability, and a source of Renewal. We embrace every person’s human dignity, walk with them throughout their journey, and never give up on them.
At St. Anthony’s, we have served those most in need in our city since 1950 from our home in the Tenderloin. It is our mission to recognize every person’s dignity and to serve them with the respect they deserve, no matter who they are.
We provide a broad range of services to meet people where they are. On a regular day, we serve more than 1,500 meals in the Dining Room - close to 47 million meals over the last 72 years. Our Free Clothing Program, the largest of its kind in San Francisco, provides 14,000 outfits each year; the Medical Clinic provides 9,000 primary and specialty care visits to 2,500 individuals and families annually; our Tenderloin Tech Lab, the neighborhood’s only free technology center offers 3,000 hours of access and training yearly.
We don’t consider the impressive numbers of people served a sign of success. While we are called to help people experiencing poverty with their immediate needs, our objective is to cater to the whole person and to empower them to achieve lasting, positive change in their lives. In this context, we think of our basic services as a gateway to stability. We invite people to change their lives, not just our guests, but also our volunteers. We believe that in giving, we receive and in doing so, we heal our community. When we can find change in our hearts, we can change our world.
