EMS Closet

EMS Closet is in desperate need of gently used children’s clothing in ALL sizes! 👕👖👗
We are accepting clean, gently loved boys’ and girls’ clothing to help us stock our shelves for the summer and prepare for the next school year.
Just because school is out doesn’t mean the need stops — and summer goes by fast! Every donation helps us continue assisting local children and families when they need it most. ❤️
If you have clothing your children have outgrown, please consider donating to EMS Closet and help us make sure every child starts the school year with confidence.
Message us for drop-off information and please share!

☀️ School may be out, but EMS Closet is already gearing up for our busiest season as we prepare for next school year’s “Outfit the Future” back-to-school initiative!

We’re looking for local businesses, churches, organizations, and community members who would like to partner with us this summer to help students in Richland One and Richland Two start the school year with confidence.

Ways to help:
💙 Host a drive or spirit night
💙 Donate funds, clothing, or toiletries
💙 Help spread the word

Last school year, EMS Closet served approximately 1,350 local students and distributed more than $375,000 in clothing and essentials — all made possible through community support.

Interested in partnering with us? We’d love to connect!

Thank you for making a difference and sharing your time with us, we are so grateful for your support! ❤️

EMS Closet is currently accepting donations of gently used children’s clothing in all sizes, and we are so grateful for every single item we receive 💙

That said, we are especially in need of larger children’s sizes (girls 16 and 18) as our shelves are running very low in those ranges right now.

As we prepare for the warmer months, your donations help ensure local students have what they need to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

If you’re doing a seasonal clean-out, please consider supporting our community, every donation truly makes a difference!
