Who Are We?
We are a community store providing free gently used, new clothing, diapers, and wipes to families with children ages 0 – 14. We are here to serve our community by offering a helping hand to growing families.
How Do I Access the Clothing Store?
We have a simple membership process to complete on your first visit. Once you fill out the forms, your family may attend the clothing store once a month, if in the catchment area, or once every three months if outside the catchment area. On each visit, up to five items per child are available. An initial one-time administration fee of $2 is required. Please call or email for an appointment.
What Is the Catchment Area?
North: Steeles Avenue; South: Sheppard Avenue; East: Yonge Street; West: Dufferin Street. If you are in this area, you are eligible to book an appointment every month. Outside this area, you may come every three months.
Please email the church office or call (416) 636-2471 ext. 14. Visit the store by appointment only.
