“This isn’t about charity. It’s about respect — about seeing someone’s need and responding with dignity and choice. I bring these clothes because I’ve seen how practical help can restore a bit of everyday confidence.”
Sometimes what people need most is simple, practical, and immediate.
Through my work at Criterion House, I have access to a small store of clothing that I make available free of charge. I’ve tried to select some clothes that are particularly suitable for homelessness — practical, wearable items that can make day-to-day life a little easier.
The focus is on clothes for all genders, and this includes women’s clothing as well.
These clothes are offered openly — no forms, no explanations required — to anyone who needs them.
I’m able to access the clothing store on Saturdays during Food Not Bombs (FNBs) between 1pm-3pm, and I regularly bring this option into the space as part of immediate material support. Whether someone needs something warm, something clean, or just a bit of dignity in a hard moment, the invitation is simple: take what you need.
This is not charity with conditions. It’s neighbour-to-neighbour support, grounded in respect, choice, and care.
If you or someone you know could benefit from free clothing, you’re welcome.
