Community Clothes Closet

The CCC is here to help camouflage poverty. We try to level out the playing field for those in need by helping them improve their outside appearance and boost their self-confidence. We try to relieve the financial pressure from families by providing free clothing; in a sense we increase their income. Now they don’t have to purchase clothing and can spend their money on the other necessities of life.

Services Provided: We give away clothing free of charge to those in need.

Contact Information: If you are an individual or family in need, contact Diane at 920-731-7834.

Disaster Assistance -- The American Red Cross provides disaster-related assistance. It does not provide general financial aid to individuals in need unrelated to disaster circumstances.
