Making a Difference in the KC Northland
Northland Clothing Center (formerly Clay County Clothes Closet) was founded to distribute clothing free of charge to help meet the basic human need of adequate clothing for every person we serve. Clothing is essential:
Dignity
What we wear is an integral part of making a first impression. We want everyone we support to experience confidence and dignity in their work, play, school, and everyday living.
Employability
Appropriate clothing for job interviews and the workplace can be vitally important to a person’s ability to obtain and maintain employment.
Education
School is challenging enough for young people as they navigate socially, even in ideal conditions. We believe all children and youth need clean, properly-fitting, comfortable, and updated clothing so that worry is alleviated.
Independence
Adequate clothing is the foundation that most of us need for sustainable independence in our society. Every wardrobe we give away is a gift of dignity that we give with love and care.
