Winter Clothing closet

The RMM Winter Clothing Closet operates on Mondays, November through March. We provide adults with new and used coats, as well as winter clothing and essentials. All items are distributed free of charge.


We are able to accommodate 30-40 guests per week, and guests are allowed to visit RMM's clothing closet only ONCE a month.  No referral is necessary and it is first come, first serve.  


Clothing is distributed based on supplies/donations available.  Generally, guests can expect to get the following clothing items each visit: Heavy winter coat (once a season), light jacket, sweatshirt/sweater, t-shirt, pants/skirt, underwear, socks, winter hat, scarf, gloves, and toiletry kit.  We distribute shoes, interview clothing and specialty clothes only when available.
