Warm for the Winter Clothing Drive 2021
Community Clothes Closet is hosting a new winter clothing collection in partnership with Fox River Mall in Appleton, WI this fall.
From October 14th to November 23rd, three collection boxes will be placed in mall corridors to encourage shoppers to donate new winter coats, scarves, hats and gloves. Adult's and children's sizes will be accepted and provided to families in need in our community. Having a safe and warm winter coat is critical for folks living in our area. Without help, many kids and adults would not have the necessary winter attire needed to make it through the chilly Wisconsin winter.

Client Event - Cool for School
Cool for School was hosted in mid-August and over 3,600 articles of clothing and shoes were provided to 356 young scholars. “I can’t wait for the first day of school” was heard often by volunteers who helped kids shop for new pants, tops, athletic shoes, socks and underwear. All this is possible because of our caring community partners and amazing volunteers. A special thank you to our sponsors: Appleton Rotary Foundation Service Fund, Pitney Bowes, TJX Foundation Inc., Water-Right Charitable Fund, First Presbyterian Church Bergstrom Grant, Memorial Presbyterian Church and Menasha Utilities.
