Free Clothing Room
Because of the current pandemic, The Church of the Nazarene Free Clothing Room is open only by appointment on an as-needed basis during business hours. Please do not simply "show up" without an appointment.
When you come, you may help yourself to whatever you need, as little or as much. Freely we have received... freely we offer it to you.
We are located at 2111 Centennial Street at the north end of Porter Creek along the Alaska Highway.
What Will I Find?
Our clothing room was originally geared for children's clothing... but there is also a selection of adult clothing as well. Come and take a look. You might be surprised at what you will find. Sometimes we get some new clothing. Sometimes there are diapers. Sometimes there are new or near new work boots.
Is it really free?
Absolutely. 100% free. Freely we have received; freely we give. No obligation. Take what you need and walk out the door. Simple. If someone wants to make a donation, they certainly can. We will pass along all donations (100% of all donations) to the Whitehorse Food Bank.
How It Started
Our free clothing room started when parents from our Daycare dropped off clothing and asked if any other daycare parents could use them. As the collection grew, we decided to open up the clothing room to the public.
Can I Bring Something?
We accept very limited items, and ONLY clothing that is obviously clean, near new, and folded neatly. Clothing left on our doorstep without proper prepration will be considered abandoned and we will use our discretion to dispose of it. However, clothing that has been obviously well taken care of and when we have been contacted ahead of time, that will almost certainly be put out for the public. Please see further instructions below.
Will My Donated Clothing Be Sold?
We will not sell clothing. It is free. Sometimes if we have too much of some types of clothing we will collect the extra and take it to another organization who might sell it, recycle it, or discard it.
What about Toys or Household Items?
I'm afraid our clothing room is much too small for anything other than clothing. Toys or household items will be disposed of at our discretion and will not be available in our clothing room. We ask that only clothing be dropped off here.

Instruction for Clothing Donations

Our "wish" list |
|
We must have strict limits on what we will accept and distribute in our clothing room. Our space is very small. Our volunteers have limited time. While we appreciate everyone's generosity; we can only accept (and process) certain items and only after the following process:
1) Look over our list of what we need and what we don't need. There is no use bringing us things in our "don't need" list. We will not use it. We will not save it. 2) Inspect the condition of your clothing. We are very particular about the clothing we put out. We want people to feel good about what they pick up here. It needs to be:
3) Contact us (fill in the information below) and let us know what you have and how much. Don't message us on Facebook. Please use the contact form below to let us know what you have and how much and to verify that you have read and agree to abide by these instructions. 4) Start Packing! Once we get your electronic submission, we will send you instructions. Remember to fold and pack your clothing donation in a box and if possible, sort them according to the type of clothing. Do not simply throw everything together in a garbage bag. 5) Follow the email instructions you receive. Do not randomly leave your donation outside our door as any such donations will be disposed of. Our promise to you:
