Wear 'n Share

Wear 'n Share Donate new & gently used infant, children and teen clothing. Easy drive up and drop off donations! The solution is easy!

Kerri Howell, Founder of Wear 'n Share, started this service in June of 2009, when she heard about children who couldn't attend school because they didn't have appropriate clothing or shoes. "If we can't find a way to keep these kids in school, how will they ever be able to break the cycle of poverty they are in? We are just recycling clothing that has been outgrown or never worn and getting it in

to the hands of the families in our local area in need. Wear 'n Share is the connection between the families who want to help and those that are in need." Since it's conception, Wear 'n Share has helped over 11,000 children in Buffalo and surrounding communities. We now partner with over 100 local organizations, shelters, churches and schools in order to reach out to our families, including Child & Family Services, the Buffalo Public Schools, and the Boys & Girls Club of Buffalo, just to name a few. "Buffalo is known as the City of Good Neighbors. We need to let our neighbors know we are here for them when the going gets tough."

Wear 'n Share, now a division of Felician Community Services, is accepting donations again!!!!! We have a beautiful new donation bin! Same location at 9365 Clarence Center Road in Clarence Center, located in front of Epiphany Ucc. AND, now accepting ADULT CLOTHING as well as Children's. Since The grand opening of Wear 'n Share at Felician Community Services, in October of 2024, more than 12,000 pieces of clothing have been handed out to our local families in need! But we couldn't do it, without your generous donations, so please clean out your closets and spread the word to your friends and neighbors. Thank you for helping to make a difference!

Help Needed! Wear ‘n Share is looking for a new church home or building location to house our children’s clothing ministry. We have been blessed to operate out of the basement location in Epiphany UCC’s Outreach building in Clarence Center for the past 13 years, however due to space constraints and water issues, our current location is no longer a viable option for us. In our 14 years since inception, Wear ‘n Share has helped over 14,000 children in need. It has become a vital resource for our local Buffalo community so I want to ensure this outreach continues, but we can’t continue in our current home. We do not receive funding to operate Wear ‘n Share as we are a completely volunteer run and operated organization, therefore we are ideally searching for a rent-free space. We are looking for a minimum of 2,400 square feet on the first floor within 30 minutes of Clarence Center, NY.
This could be a great opportunity for you, your church, or organization, to immediately be able to give back to, and positively impact the youth of our community. If you have any interest or questions, please contact Kerri Howell at [email protected].
Please check out our website at www.wearnshare.org for more details about what we do and the community we service.

 Then Wear ‘n share needs you!  Donate your new and gently used children’s clothing, coats, and shoes and you can provide families with hope for a brighter future and bring change to those struggling in our Buffalo area.
