Outagamie County St. Vincent Clothing Assistance offers working poor clients, job seekers, and students an opportunity to receive items they may not otherwise be able to afford. The thrift store center may pass out clothes, school uniforms, blankets, coats, winter hats and shoes that have been gently used. This will only be for low income families, such as those from Outagamie County living in poverty. Other residents can shop at the thrift store for gently used items. They will not be provided goods for free.
The request from the applicant needs to note the age, gender and size of the needy individual. If the closet is able to find a match with a donor that meets the description, the contributor will bring the items to the churches that are part of Saint Vincent. Last year, dozens of lower income residents received gently worn clothing that totaled hundreds of dollars.
