The Clothing Connection has officially become our sixth program and is now in a space of its own - over 5,000 square feet - on the south side of the Plaza's lower level, at the end of Wilton Ave.

More than meeting a need,          

                     Making a connection.

About Us

Free clothing was originally a part of the Food for Families program with just a few racks of clothes off to the side in the basement of the old church building.

​

By the end of 2019, it had outgrown the space and was relocated to a 1200 square-foot room at the Life Skills Institute, across the street in the Plaza's lower level.

​

In one year's time, in the midst of the pandemic,  40,000 pounds of clothes and shoes for adults and children were distributed, reflecting both the increased need and the generous donations from friends in the community.

Monthly Fundraiser

December

We are collecting *new* cold-weather items such as coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets. 

How to Donate

1) Donate financially.  You are welcome to make a one-time donation or a monthly commitment. We will use these funds to purchase the monthly items.

2) Shop our wish lists at Walmart and Amazon.  You can have all items shipped directly to us!

3) Shop locally or your own closet and drop off our monthly items at The Clothing Connection which can be found on the lower level of the Plaza at 2323 Memorial Avenue Suite 28 Lynchburg, VA 24501

Thank you!

THANKS to the Charlie Sprouse family for hours of volunteer labor, including HVAC and water heater installation, plumbing, flooring, lighting, painting, and tile work.
THANKS to Liberty University, whose ongoing partnership allows us to continue.

THANKS to Renee Wood for fixtures and interior decorating.
