On the second Friday of each month visit the church at 50 Finkle ST. in Woodstock to shop for gently used clothing items at no cost.

WOODSTOCK - Increasing Faith Fellowship has opened a new FREE Clothing Closet for the Woodstock community.  

On the second Friday of each month visit the church at 50 Finkle ST. in Woodstock to shop for gently used clothing items at no cost. 

Melany Denby, organizer for The Clothing Closet says the program was created to help give back to the community.  

"I actually started the Clothing Closest to help the community. The cost of living was going up, and rent going up. Even prices at local second-hand stores are rising."  

At this moment the store is only open for a couple of hours each month. Organizers are hoping to extend the hours of operation to include a 2nd shopping night in the month.  

Shoppers will be greeted with coffee, refreshments, and a welcoming hand to help look around.  

Pat Higgins, board member at IFF says that whether you are donating or shopping everyone is welcome to use the program.   

"We encourage you guys to make your donations. If you're in need there's no judgment here. Everyone is invited to come and choose any clothes you may need."  

The program also has care packages for women and men to address more gender specific needs. 

Higgins added that they can take special requests for items such as suits and formal wear, and church volunteers will try to hunt down the items for you.
