The Clothing Bank was established in 1976 by the Social Action Committee and has been in continuous service ever since. Our primary purpose is to help those who come to us in need of clothing, whether they are parishioners or not. Presently the clothing bank, run by volunteers, will be open Wednesdays from 5:30 – 7 PM and Saturdays from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. During the winter months we may close if there is inclement weather, so please call ahead to check. In case of an emergency need for clothing, such as individuals who have been displaced by fire or other catastrophe, please call the office to arrange for an appointment.
Donations of gently used clean clothing may be dropped off at the Parish office Monday through Thursday between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm.
To enable the most efficient and safe use of the facilities, the following guidelines are in effect:
No children allowed (per fire marshal)
Clients must refrain from the use of alcohol, drugs, or other illegal substances'.
We are located in St. Mary’s Parish Center, 30 Maplewood Avenue, East Hartford. Please use the side door labeled Clothing Bank.
