New Clothes Give Confidence
The Waukee Area Christian Services Clothing Closet relies on the generosity of our community to be able to supply children with quality, current-style clothing they feel confident wearing to school. Inadequate clothing is a humbling, very visible consequence of poverty. Many children are affected in painfully silent ways that can diminish their quality of life and opportunities. Lack of proper clothing can lead children to skip school and have behavioral and academic problems.
Thank you for helping the youth in our community feel confident going to school in clothing that will allow them to focus on their schoolwork, without feeling self-conscious.

What We Accept
We accept donations of clothing for students ages 4-18 years old. Because we strive to dignify our clients with the gift of high-quality, new, and like-new clothing, we ask that all used clothing is in excellent condition. Please, no wear and tear or stains. Thank you.
To help you with your clothing drive, we’ve added a printable document for our most-needed items throughout the year.
