His Kid's Closet

Description

His Kid's Closet takes donated clothing and redistributes it for free or at a low cost in the community. We are a federally tax exempt 501c3, making any donations tax deductible. We give out free clothes on Tuesdays at the Champaign WIC clinic from 9-4 volunteer support permitting. His Kid's Closet accepts donations and also accepts orders from school social workers for specific items. Teachers, parents and social workers are all welcome to identify needs and make requests. We also accept donations of non-necessity items in order to sell them to cover operational costs, as well as donations of necessity items which are sometimes sold at very low prices in order to help cover costs as well. For example we might sell a highchair or a stroller for $5, in order to see it get into the hands of someone who may NEED it. We envision growth to serve a larger portion of the community and see our overall goal as reducing local poverty, and aim to empower rather than enable our clients and hope to grow to this end.
