We are a Jacksonville, Florida-based national nonprofit that provides brand new clothing to men, women and children in need. We receive donations of new clothing from manufacturers and retailers and distribute it through a network of 300 recipient nonprofit agencies in 30 states. We also receive new clothing from community groups and individuals.

The people we help get what they need when they need it—we fulfill specific requests for the clothing.

Nationally, the organization has provided more than 4.1 million pieces, valued at $71 million, to more than 354,000 people.

In North Florida, where we’re based, the organization has donated more than $20 million of brand new clothing through 70 Northeast Florida-area nonprofits.

 

How We Do It: We are a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization and operate exclusively on private donations from individuals, corporations and private foundations. We have never received any city, state or federal government grants or funding.  

We have a lean staff of 10 full-time and five part-time employees. Volunteers help process 100% of the incoming inventory, providing 95% of the time and labor necessary to accomplish the task.
