The RMM Winter Clothing Closet operates on Mondays, November through March. We provide adults with new and gently used coats, as well as winter clothing and essentials. All items are distributed free of charge.
We are able to accommodate approximately 50 guests per week, and guests are allowed one visit per season. No referral is necessary, but any form of ID is required. The WCC is first come, first serve. No line holding. Items only given to those present (except for children, but child's ID is required).
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.
