Children’s Community Closet Childrens Community Closet provides children’s, teen, and maternity clothing, shoes, and accessories for free to ALL. We will have extras on hand as well. St.

Compra gratis - ropa, zapatos, y accesorios para ninos, adolescentes y embarazadas. Volunteer/Volantario! — tinyurl.com/closet26 We are a community organization that exists to collect your used or unworn children's clothing and pass them on to anyone who can use them! ALL are welcome to shop, and everything in the room is free. Our mission is to keep clothing in use and out of landfills, as well a

s to provide a sustainable and affordable (free!) way for families to clothe babies and kids. This isn't a need-based organization-- we're like a little free library for clothing, and a way for neighbors to share! Open hours will be posted as they become available, and usually happen once a month. Please bring your own bags for "shopping," nothing larger than a white, 13-gallon kitchen garbage bag. We do ask a small free-will cash donation to St. Michael's to help cover our use of the space, utilities and cleaning. Free parking behind St. Michael’s off of Sherwood Road. Michael’s is accessible and stroller friendly! Donations of CHILDREN'S CLOTHING & SHOES can be dropped off ANYTIME at the following location:

St. Michael’s Lutheran Church
500 E 31st St
La Grange Park, IL 60526
*24 hour donation bin behind building*

We welcome donations of gently used or new children's clothing, shoes, and accessories as well as maternity clothing, sizes 0-14/16, as well as adult small or medium clothing that would work for teenagers. We do NOT accept the following items:
• Underwear
• Clothing and shoes in poor condition (stains, wear, holes, rips, broken zippers, covered in pet hair, worn out elastics, etc.)
• Adult clothes sized L or larger OR that wouldn't work for a teenager
• Toys/games
• Books

• Breast pumps
• Diaper bags/totes
• Bassinets

Unacceptable donations will be disposed of at our discretion. Please be respectful of our limited resources when you consider donating-- we have limited storage and we are run by a small committee of busy volunteers! We rely on a larger network of volunteers to help us sort donations and prepare for and restore the space after open hours. We will share volunteer opportunities via this page, or you can message us your email address to receive a monthly email with our volunteer shifts and open hours information. We ask volunteers be at least 16 years old or accompanied by an adult. Please message or email us at [email protected] with any questions!
