We want to say THANK YOU to our community - you continue to be so generous with your donations! And during this holiday season, although Christmas and New Year's fall on Thursdays, so we will not be open those days, The Closet will still be receiving donations 24/7 like normal, and could especially use kids' clothing and pajamas!

Thanks & Merry Christmas!

We accept CLEAN clothing and shoes, so that we can offer them to those who need it in the community. (We do not have the ability to wash items at our facility.)

For ease of processing donations, our volunteers request that clothing and shoes be donated in a bag or a box. Please do not place loose clothing in the drop off center.

If you have a large amount of donations (6+ bags or boxes), please contact First Church of God to schedule a drop off time directly with volunteers of the 10:25 Closet.

Thank you for considering donating to The 10:25 Closet. We are able to serve those in need because of donations from our generous community!

A special thank you to Mrs. Damron's 2-step class at Stepping Stones Preschool for their donation of brand new socks for our guests at the 10:25 Closet! (They had a sock drive for Sock-tober. 😃) We appreciate your giving hearts!
