About
Caleb’s Closet’s Free Clothing Program is Lea Counties largest free clothing program, providing warm clothes, interview apparel or workwear, and children’s clothing to homeless and low-income families and individuals.
The Free Clothing Program at a glance:
- More than $300,000 in clothing donations from individuals and corporate partners per year and nearly 200 volunteer hours each month
- 7000 pieces of new and like-new clothing distributed for free to nearly 2000 guests each year (including more than 250 children)
The average family spends $1800 on clothing and $400 on shoes each year (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2017). For low-income or single parents struggling to pay rent while covering healthcare costs and other critical bills, a clothing budget may be nonexistent.
Donating Clothes
“We will not ask you to wear it, if we would not wear it.”
Donations of clean, like-new clothing and financial gifts make this program possible. We offer a convenient curbside donation drop-off in front of our building every day of the year. Critical clothing needs are:
- New in the package Underwear (for men, women, and children)
- Coats and jackets (for men, women, and children)
- Pants, especially jeans (for men and boys)
- New in the pack Socks (for men, women, and children)
- XL clothing (for men and women)
- Bras
- Belts
- Shoes
- Baby clothes
- Children’s clothes
