Colorful Closets gratefully accepts donations of age-appropriate new and gently used clothing in all sizes, from infant (layette and size 0) to adult XXL, XXXL, and larger, as many of our students wear adult sizes.
*Please note that while we accept adult-sized items, they are intended for school-aged children and teens, not adults. We also welcome full-sized toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant, as well as brand-new socks and undergarments.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

At Colorful Closets, we work closely with AISD & CISD social workers and counselors to provide children with mini-wardrobes and toiletries.

​Each child is treated with love and respect as we work to provide clothing, confidence and hope.
