This is a free clothing program available to community members and can be accessed during drop-in and program hours. All clothes displayed in the clothing closets have been cleaned by Kind Space.

When and how to access Out-Of-The-Closet:

Access to the clothing service can be accessed, for free, during drop-in hours (generally Wednesday – Friday from 2pm to 6pm)

There is no referral or registration needed to access the service. Coming during the drop-in you will need to sign in at the door like all others that come into the drop-in.

Clothing can be accessed during registered groups and events if you have also registered to attend those programs or events. Drop-ins for this service during programs or events is not allowed.

If you are looking to drop-off clothing donations

Please read the list below. Donations are accepted during drop-in hours only.

We are grateful for all the clothing donation requests we receive, however, we are a small organization with an even smaller clothing closet. Please limit donations to 1 bag of seasonally appropriate items.

    • You can take any clothes that are in the white closets, located in the A/V room.

    • There are reusable bags located on top of the cabinets which you can take to transport your new threads.

    • You may take any clothing you like, however, please be conscious of taking clothing meant for larger bodies for “oversized” looks. Good quality, affordable/free clothing is difficult to come by for individuals with larger bodies.

    Note of caution: There are donated items that will either be in large blue bins or in bags. While most of these items may have been washed, they have not been washed by Kind Space. You may take them but at your own risk.

    • Before donating, please ask yourself

      “Would I wear these clothes in the next three months and not be too hot or too cold? Is this appropriate for the season?”

      “Would I feel good/comfortable/happy receiving this item in its current state?”

    • Ensure items have been recently washed

    • There are no stains or discolourations

    • There are no tears or holes

    • There are no broken zippers or missing buttons

    • Ensure items are not heavily pilled

    • Ensure clothing does not have inappropriate, racist, hypersexualized images or words.

    • Separate clothing by season, size, or style, especially if making a large donation of clothing

    • Donated in plastic or non-fabric reusable bags

    • Email or call Kind Space before dropping off clothing/items
