This year marks the 40th year that the Mount Gilead Clothes Closet has been providing clothing to Morrow County school children in grades K-12. Distribution will start in mid-September. Forms will be available in the school office and a Clothes Closet representative will be at Family Welcome Night on August 20, 2025 from 5-7pm.
Families may participate in the clothes closet program in addition to any other clothing assistant programs. It is not based on income. Each student will be able to choose and try on their selections at the Northfield Medical Center, located on St. Rt. 42, between Williamsport and Johnsville. Almost all the clothing is new and everything from socks to a new winter coat is available.
The Clothes Closet is set up similar to a department store and organized by sizes. All families are encouraged to take advantage of this program that serves our community.
Watch for a handout in coming home in the fall.
