Clothe Me Co-Op (CMC) is 100% donation-based children's clothing & service ministry of Kenmore Alliance Church, made up of volunteers from all over the WNY community. Donations are given to us with the intent of being a blessing. We exist to bless families throughout WNY with very low/no cost children's clothing and other items.
We carry all sizes and types of items for children from newborn through teens; to include clothing in sizes newborn to adult x-large, maternity clothes, shoes/boots, baby/toddler gear, children's books, gently used/new toys and more.
Distributions are held in our gym which is transformed into a "store" for WNY families, foster families, teachers, social workers, etc. to shop for children who need it.
We also take appointments for emergencies & special needs. Contact us for an appointment.
CMC is open to the WNY community. We do not ask for personal or financial information. We are here to be a blessing, and expect our guests to treat it like the blessing that it is.
We ask a nominal donation for clothing and other items at our monthly distributions. Donation Suggestions Per Item:
CASH ONLY!
Where does the money go?
CMC does not fundraise, receive grants, etc. The small donation we ask for clothing, shoes, etc. goes right back into the operation and continuation of CMC and buys the diapers, pull-ups, wipes, socks, underwear, school supplies, etc., which are all given away free when available. We encourage donations of the items listed above and always welcome new volunteers! We have a host of different free items available monthly (baby food, formula, onesies, bibs, blankets, infant items, children items, etc.). Each family receives free diapers, pull-ups and or wipes (as available).
CMC is ENTIRELY donation supported. Donations of new &/or clean, gently used children’s clothing, shoes, & other items are always welcome.
Clothe Me Co-Op is volunteer driven. It takes a team of 30+ volunteers to make this amazing ministry happen! There are many different ways to help with Clothe Me Co-Op no matter your age or physical ability. New volunteers are always welcome! There is A LOT of work to do during a month to prepare for each distribution, so we have regular weekly sorting and set-up times. New volunteers are always welcome!
