Our Closet In Your Neighborhood Host sites include churches, synagogues, hospitals, community centers, and agency partners. There are no referrals required or forms to fill out.

Our Closet In Your Neighborhood (OCIYN) is a free mobile program that provides those in need across the Philadelphia region with the basic necessities of food and clothing, as well as access to services and benefits. The OCIYN bus visits host sites in under-resourced neighborhoods and central locations with fresh, healthy produce and pantry staples, a mini pop-up clothing shop, and an onsite social worker. All free, quality food and clothing items are provided with dignity and respect in a warm and welcoming environment. OCIYN also provides customized packages of emergency clothing delivered straight to those in need, as well as food package delivery to homebound clients.

What an amazing day! We were so honored to celebrate the opening of our new "small closet" at the Reentry Center in Northeast Philadelphia, in partnership with the Philadelphia Dept. of Prisons. This new space offers individuals reentering the community after a period of incarceration a welcoming, dignified space to shop for the clothing they need, helping them feel confident, supported, and prepared as they take their next steps! Thank you to everyone involved!
