Partnering for community impact
The Community Clothing Closet is proud to partner with the City of Issaquah and the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank to expand access to clothing assistance in our region. Through these partnerships, we can reach more individuals and families by aligning our services with trusted local organizations that share our commitment to dignity, sustainability, and compassion.
Our story
Cheryl, Lisa, and Angela met while volunteering at the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank (IFCB) and became friends through their shared interest in community engagement. The IFCB has seen much growth and change in the time they have been volunteering there, including a strategic shift to focus more deeply on providing nutritious food resources to the Issaquah community.
IFCB made the difficult decision to close its broad clothing bank, and Cheryl, Lisa, and Angela saw the continued need for accessible clothing support. Motivated by their experiences and commitment to service, they founded the Community Clothing Closet (CCC).
The CCC’s mission is to provide quality clothing, at no cost, to those who need it most, unite communities through events grounded in compassion over commerce, and champion sustainability by keeping clothes out of landfills and into closets where they belong. CCC is happy to partner with IFCB, the City of Issaquah, and other non-profit organizations in the community to fulfill this mission.
Who we help
We serve anyone in need, including refugees, immigrants, youth, people experiencing homelessness, and other low-income neighbors.
Where we are
We partner closely with food banks to provide their clients with clothing, with low-income apartment complexes to bring clothing directly to seniors and residents with mobility or transportation limitations, and we work with school districts to host district-wide clothing events so students can focus on learning rather than worrying about their clothing.
We provide dignified, choice‑based, free clothing events in churches, community centers, and more across Issaquah, Renton, Bellevue, WA and surrounding communities.
Our first free clothing event, held May 27-28, 2025 in Pickering Barn.
Free Clothing Event for Issaquah School District, January 2026.
