PTA Clothes Closet of Clackamas County

We provide free clothing for school-age children (K-12) in Clackamas County.

The PTA Clothes Closet of Clackamas County's mission is to provide free, gently-used clothing, shoes, and personal items to school-aged children in need, who reside within Clackamas County. Having clothed thousands of children since its opening, our goal is to continue to serve our community through a variety of easily-accessible avenues. 

For most immediate needs, families can request an order of items to be filled through the closet. These items can then be delivered to any Oregon City School District school or can be picked up from Jennings Lodge. Orders can be placed through our online form, by calling the Jennings Lodge office, sending an email to the address below, or through the child’s school. Details can be found below. 

How do I get clothing for my child(ren)? 

If you are in need of clothing, shoes, or other items, please the button below to send us an email OR Call 503-785-8035 ext 0 and we can take the request over the phone. 

After we receive your request we will have one of our volunteers shop for your children and create a package of clothing. We will then contact you when your request is complete. Clothing can be delivered to any of our local Oregon City School District schools, or it can be picked up at our Jennings Lodge Campus. 18521 SE River Rd, Milwaukie OR 97267 Monday - Friday 7am - 5pm. If neither of these options works, we can work with you to find a solution.

What information do we need to provide?

We will ask a few questions to understand items needed, child sizes, and additional details that may be helpful for our volunteers to fulfill the request. We will then ask for the adult name and contact information, to be used ONLY to contact you when the request is completed. 

Families DO NOT need to show verification of SNAP benefits, free or reduced lunch eligibility, or any other documentation. 

No referrals needed!
