Free clothing closets, furniture, and school supplies Charleston SC area.

Get details on Charleston South Carolina area clothing closets and furniture banks that provide free items to low income families. The charities will have free stuff such as clothes, diapers, appliances and more. Many charities operate free furniture banks, provide laptops, couches or give school uniforms/supplies and more. Find free clothes or furniture across the area, including in Dorchester, Charleston SC and Berkeley County.

The furniture banks and clothing closets near you help the elderly, seniors, single mothers and disabled in the Tri-County area.

Some will also help children during the Christmas season or give free birthday toys as well as kitchen or household appliances. Locate a free refrigerator program near you.

While the non-profits will generally pass out the items (as supplies and donations allow) some of the Charleston area clothing closets will give vouchers instead that families can use to pay for stuff. This is especially true for disaster victims or those with some form of unexpected crisis.

While the goal is to provide free clothes or household goods, such as personal hygiene items, some centers, such as thrift stores, sell the goods at low prices.
