What is Caring by Sharing?

For the past 10 years, Friendly Avenue Church of Christ has welcomed our community to our annual Caring By Sharing FREE Clothing Giveaway. To date, we have helped more than 7,000 people with clothing for themselves or their family.

Our next giveaway is scheduled for October 7, 2023, 10 AM – 3 PM.

Parking lot opens at 8 AM. There will be no childcare offered in 2023.

This clothing giveaway is open to anyone with a clothing need. There is no qualifying or preregistering required. Just show up and enjoy your time with us. You will be asked to complete a form with some basic information as this is how we track the number of people we serve.

The giveaway itself consists of all types of clothing for any season for men, women, and children. Clothing is donated by the community for the purpose of sharing our blessings with those in need. Everyone is given the same amount of time to shop. Once everyone has shopped one time, we open up the shopping area for you to take as much as you need at approximately 2 PM. Specific details are provided on the day of the event.

We will begin accepting clothing donations on Saturday, May 13th from 9 AM to 12 PM. We will add additional drop off times as we get closer to the giveaway.

The last day for donations will be Wednesday, September 27, 2023.

We request that the donations be clean and slightly worn. Acceptable clothing consists of ANY wearables including: hats, scarves, swimwear, sleepwear, jewelry, shoes, etc. We do NOT accept used socks or underwear.

If you’d like additional information on the giveaway or how you can volunteer to help at the event, please Email us. (Tricia Parker)

What Else Do We Collect?

In addition to clothing, we have several other ways you can help us.

  1. Clothing Racks – If you have a clothing rack/s we can borrow for the event, please let us know. We need as many as we can get starting the Monday prior to the event. We’re happy to pick them up, just click on the email link below and let me know.
  2. Shopping Bags – We need LOTS of paper or plastic shopping bags. These should NOT be the plastic grocery bags as they are too small. Plastic retail shopping bags are perfect, as are paper grocery bags.
