HighPoint’s Clothes Closet.
Impact.
When you are a ministry of basic needs, clothing lists among the things you provide. Clothing a family can be expensive. A family of four spends, on average, $161 on clothing per month. For individuals and families who are near the poverty line, affording clothing can be a significant challenge. We take clothes donated by the community and make them available to HighPoint clients. We have everything from shirts to shoes, seasonal items to household goods. Clients are able to come through the Closet twice a month.
Process.
HighPoint receives over 100 bags of clothes a week. Members of the community bring bags of clothes, shoes, and household goods. Our volunteers sort each bag into categories, such as women's pants, girl's shorts, etc. Other volunteers hang clothes on hangers, fold pants and make items shelf-ready. The clothes closet also uses volunteers to keep the store tidy-- making sure items are organized correctly, taking out older items and replacing them with new ones. Clients come through the closet, shopping for one bag of clothes twice a month.
