Toni's Closet
Good quality clothing can be out of reach for families who experience food need. Toni’s Closet provides access to quality clothing for a wide variety of populations. Come support this work!
Toni’s Closet is a program of Toni’s Kitchen.
Toni’s Closet: Mission and Vision
We envision a community where everyone has reliable access to appropriate, good-quality clothing. Through repurposing gently used clothing and housewares, Toni’s Closet ensures access to these items for low-income neighbors in ways that respect their dignity and strengthens their independence. We are pleased to be gentle custodians of our planet by repurposing items and providing an extended life!
How do your donations to Toni's Closet change lives?
Your gently used clothing is repurposed to provide dignity and accessibility to a wide variety of food insecure populations. For those who are without housing or in unstable housing, Toni’s Kitchen distributes warm sweatshirts, socks, and outerwear regularly after our dining room meal service. We also regularly provide families with free clothing distributions during grocery distributions. Other donations will be sold at very low cost through Toni’s Closet where families and students can choose clothing most appropriate to their needs and preferences.
Proceeds from sales at Toni’s Closet help support the food ministry of Toni’s Kitchen.

Kids at the Kitchen
Youth Program
Toni’s Kitchen is launching new youth programming to engage young neighbors as changemakers in their community. Kids at the Kitchen will offer two five-week sessions—one for students in grades 3–5 and one for students in grades 6–8. Through interactive learning and hands-on activities, students will explore why food insecurity exists, learn about neighbors who experience food challenges, and discover how they can make a tangible difference in their community. Enrollment is first-come, first-served.
Please Note: the February–March session for grades 3–5 is currently at capacity. Stay tuned for registration information for the spring session for grades 6–8.
