Community Closet
Some of our team in the Community Closet
The Community Closet is a resource for both disaster recovery and building the self-sufficiency of neighborhood residents. The Community Closet provides clothing and household items free of charge to victims of domestic violence, house fire, natural or other disaster in order to lessen the financial burden of their circumstance. During large scale disaster, like Super Storm Sandy in October 2012, the Community Closet -- in conjunction with the Depot -- works with area Emergency Response Teams (ERTs) and Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) to solicit and distribute critical supplies including clothing and cleaning supplies, hygiene products, and equipment to those affected by the disaster.
The thrift shop is a secondary component of the Closet which offers community members a chance to purchase quality goods for a nominal cost, thus enhancing their self-sufficiency while generating critical revenue to support CUMAC’s programs. Our inventory is donated by individuals, church & civic groups, and local retail stores.
Anyone is welcome to shop at the thrift shop, and you are likely to find a unique or needed item at a great price while supporting a great cause. Please call for information about Saturday sale days.

"The hurricane was catastrophic but it's a sense of relief to know that you're not alone and that CUMAC will always be there for those in need."
