Center Thrift Store Vouchers
The Center for Family Services is the only local Thrift Store that also provides free clothing to very low income adults and children. These services are made possible through community donations of clothing and our wonderful store shoppers.
Households may receive a voucher to shop at the Center’s Thrift Store. Eligibility is on a case by case basis.
Winter Coats
Gently used winter and new winter coats are distributed each Fall to local families in need. Availability of sizes and styles are based on donations from the community.
Thank you to our Community Partners who are instrumental in the yearly operation of the Winter Coat Program!
