Free clothing closets, furniture banks and school items Benton and Washington County.
Some of the free furniture as well as clothing banks in Washington as well as Benton County operate as a client choice model, meaning that a family may be able to “shop” for the goods they need. Others pass out items, such as school supplies or work items, directly to the family. Or low income families can get free furniture for their home or apartment. In almost all cases the staff at the clothing closets focus on providing clothing for work as well as educational reasons, and this can either be for the unemployed or those seeking a new job.
