Community Clothes Closet

The Community Clothes Closet, located in Menasha, Wisconsin, is a grassroots non-profit organization that provides new and gently used casual and career clothing to children, women and men in need. The Community Clothes Closet started in 1980 when a small church group provided a single pair of shoes to a homeless man in need.

The Community Clothes Closet achieves its mission with the help of a small, dedicated team of employees who manage the daily operations, outreach and programming of our organization. Our team would be happy to answer any questions you have about our operations, to arrange a tour, or discuss opportunities to support the CCC.

We are excited to announce our switch to renewable energy coming this fall! After months of analysis, planning and fundraising, CCC will install a state-of-the-art solar panel power system. The system will produce more than 30,000 kilowatt hours and prevent 23 tons of greenhouse gases from entering our atmosphere each year.

We serve the working poor, elderly, victims of abuse, children living in poverty, students, homeless, veterans, and those with emergency clothing needs. Clients are referred by a host of human service organizations such as St. Joseph's Food Program, LEAVEN, Riverview Gardens, Harbor House, Pillars, and Workforce Development.

A referral may be submitted to us from any human services organization. Although our services are not restricted by location - if you can get to us, you can shop with us - your referral must come from a Wisconsin-based organization. These human services groups range from food pantries and financial-assistance institutions to homeless shelters, medical clinics, school districts and county health departments.
