Clothing with Compassion.

Started in 1990, the Clothing Center in Stoughton operates as an all-volunteer organization with support from area organizations, businesses, and individuals. Together, we are helping to ensure that no person or family within our community lacks the clothing they need to secure employment, succeed in school, maintain a healthy life, and be socially accepted.  
Individuals and families are invited to “shop” the Clothing Center during our posted hours.

Everyone is welcome.  Everything is free.


Shop clothing for the entire family.

The Clothing Center can help provide clothing for home, school and work for the entire family, sizes preemie through 5XL. We understand how important it is to provide growing kids with clothes that fit and adults with the right apparel for the workplace. When winter comes, we can help your family with cold-weather gear so they are safe and warm. We even have basics that the whole family will need. All clothing is available free of charge. Everyone is welcome.

While dependent on donations, the Clothing Center offers clean, gently used

  • seasonal newborn, infant, and children's clothing

  • seasonal clothing for school aged-kids, including spirit wear (Badgers, Packers, Brewers, Bucks and Stoughton High School)

  • women's casual, athletic, and work tops and bottoms including maternity

  • men’s casual, athletic, and work tops and bottoms

  • seasonal outerwear including jackets, snow pants, hats, mittens and gloves. Limited boots are available

The Clothing Center is 100% volunteer operated.  Hours vary by day of the week.  Please check our online calendar BEFORE you come.  We are also available by appointment when possible. Please do not leave donations at the Covenant Church Office, outside the Clothing Center, or when volunteers are not present.
