Free clothing closets, furniture and school supplies in Cumberland County Maine.
Whether it is free clothes, school supplies, diapers, furniture or household items, clothing closets as well as furniture banks across Cumberland County may be able to help. The centers, many of which are run by non-profit organizations or charities and are based in the city of Portland, provide assistance with basic needs or free household goods as well as personal stuff to low income families and people that are struggling.
Not only may they have clothes, appliances or household furniture for everyday use, but many of the centers also run seasonal type programs. This means that Portland Maine families can contact them in the summer for school supplies, computers or uniforms or a fan to cool their home. Then, during the fall months, there may be an application period for Christmas toys, clothing, or winter coats for children. So the resources at the free furniture as well as clothing banks are extensive. Free birthday toys for kids may be given too along with furniture for a home or apartment.
Find the primary free clothing closets, Portland Maine furniture banks and low cost thrift stores below. Also locate back to school supply events. Also, these locations rely on donations and volunteers from the community, so if anyone can donate surplus furniture, clothing, beds, gift cards, couches or even provide a monetary donation, then please give contribute if possible.
