SCC Clothes Closet and Gift-In-Kind Items

Gifts-In- Kind, also known as in-kind donations, are charitable gifts of goods and services.

SCC accepts gifts-in-kind for our clothes closet that provides clothes, shoes, and other items to children in Foster Care and Prevention and Diversion Programs. Our clothes closet is not a community closet and is only open to those with an open case by appointment through their case manager. 

Donation Hours: Tuesday – Thursday, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (excluding holidays)

We do ask that you not leave items sitting in front of our building on a weekend or when our building is closed. We do request that you wash all items, and deliver them in large plastic garbage bags or bins, and NOT in cardboard boxes. We thank you for your consideration and cooperation.
