Clothing That Works

Clothing That Works

CTW is a free clothing closet for adults–men and women–who need clothing. It’s located in our Annex building, at 130 S.  Sheldon, Suite 301 in Ames. There’s plenty of parking on the north side of the building, and you can enter through the north door. You will need to climb a couple of flights of stairs or, if you need assistance, reach out ahead of time at clothingthatworks@gmail.com so that our volunteers can be ready to watch for you and assist from the ground level.

Clothing That Works is open Wednesdays 2:00-5:00pm and the first Saturday of each month 9:00 am-noon–except for the rare times when one of those days intersects with holidays or bad weather. You can keep up to date with any schedule changes or additional announcements on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/clothingthatworksames

We are grateful for the many donations that come from residents of Ames and beyond. Donated items should be clean and wearable. All sizes are needed. If items are stained, torn, or carry pet or other odors, we will recycle them. We appreciate donations of NEW underwear. If you’d prefer to make a monetary donation, you can do that through Collegiate/Wesley’s “Give” page. Click on the “Missions” tab and then include “Clothing That Works” in the notes space provided. If you’d prefer to send a check, you can make it payable to Collegiate/Wesley with “Clothing That Works in the memo line, and mail or deliver it to us at 2622 Lincoln Way, Ames, IA 50014.

Interested in volunteering? We’d love to hear from you! We have a lovely core of helpers that sort and organize clothing, assist our customers, and occasionally purchase items we need to have available. 

Clothing That Works is a mission of Collegiate United Methodist Church and Wesley Foundation.
