Clothing Closet Program
PVEN’s Choice Clothing Closet provides free clothing, linens, and housewares to residents of Chestnuthill, Eldred, Hamilton, Jackson, Ross, and Polk townships in Monroe County.
Recipients must pre-register and meet certain household income restrictions to qualify for aid.
Participants may visit the clothing closet once every three months. Several days are available during the month to meet individuals’ schedules.
Choice Clothing Closet distribution is Friday mornings from 9am to 11am, but are by appointment only. Arriving too early or too late may result in losing your place in the queue, so call that morning if you need to re-schedule.
What is PVEN's Choice Clothing Closet?
Our clothing closet is set up like a department store. This gives our clients the opportunity to look through racks and shelves of clothing, shoes, and accessories, and choose what their family needs and what they like!
Whether it is an outfit for a job interview or special event, clothes for their kids, or an everyday outfit to wear around the house, we want our clients to feel comfortable choosing the items that fit their lives.
During the summer, clients can sign their children up for our Back to School Extravaganza (BTSE), which provides school supplies, uniforms, shoes, socks, and underwear. This program takes place toward the end of summer each year.
During the winter, the Clothing Closet manages PVEN’s Coat Program, which is included in our Holiday Toy Assistance Program. Each child that comes through this program receives a brand new coat, as well as hats, gloves, scarves, snow pants, and other winter accessories as available.
Throughout the entire year, all clothing closet clients receive brand new socks, underwear, and bras purchased by PVEN. They can also pick up personal hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and laundry detergent as well and new and gently used bed linens, towels, and blankets.
We want our clients to have EVERYTHING they need to feel great and look great all year long!
