Clothing Ministry

Our Clothing Ministry is currently closed for the holidays. We will reopen to guests on Monday, January 27 at 10am. Please note that we will not be accepting donations from December 17-January 5 as we restock for the new year. Thank you for your patience, and Merry Christmas!

The Clothing Ministry is an expression of the church’s concern for our neighbors in need. This ministry distributes clothing donated by Wake County residents, and we strive to provide adequate clothing for families, people experiencing homelessness, those in transition from relocation or re-entry into the workforce, or any person with an identifiable need. We established this ministry in 1983 and we serve around 1,000 people each month.

Hours of Operation:

MONDAYS | 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Volunteers are always needed to welcome and interview clients, assist clients in clothing selection, sort donations and provide financial contributions. This is a great opportunity for groups and youth to accrue volunteer hours.    For more information, please contact the church office (919) 832-4485. To sign up to volunteer, contact the Volunteer Coordinator at cmvolunteercoordinator.fbc@gmail.com.

Gently used clothing donations are accepted Monday through Friday, from 8:30am-4pm. There is a large donation bin located inside the parking lot doors where clothing donations may be placed. 

We ask that you pre-sort, bag, and label your clothing donations by gender/age – men’s, women’s, children’s. We are unable to clean or repair donated clothing, so please ensure that your clothing donations do not have stains, rips, or broken zippers and buttons.  We are no longer accepting donations of household items, other than suitcases, backpacks, and blankets. Tax receipts are on the greeting sign as you enter the building.

If you are bringing more than 4 kitchen-size bags of clothes, you need to make an appointment for drop-off by emailing us at cmvolunteercoordinator.fbc@gmail.com. We are a volunteer-only ministry and thus it may take 3-5 business days to receive a response and schedule a time when volunteers are available.
