Free clothing closets, school supplies and furniture programs Piedmont Triad.
Free clothes, basic needs, household goods, school supplies and Christmas items are available from non-profits in the Piedmont Triad North Carolina area. Several different charities and non-profits may also have free furniture or back to school uniforms or supplies for low income families so they can get what they want for free while others can shop at the thrift stores. Many programs have an application process and may even require interviews with case managers.
What may be available depends on donations and fund raisers. However the free clothing closets as well as furniture banks can have many free items for the needy. As noted, this includes free school uniforms or supplies for students, shoes, general clothing, birthday toys for kids, and holiday items such as Christmas gifts. Or find items such as beds for kids, kitchen appliances, couches and other free furniture. Volunteers are on site to help the less fortunate.
Some locations may also have limited financial aid, shelters on site, or personal hygiene items. No matter you need, the sites in Forsyth and Guilford County can benefit the least fortunate.
The Salvation Army has multiple centers in the Piedmont. The locations will have low cost, gently used goods, furniture, appliances, clothing, bedding, and other goods. Some sites also have emergency and transitional housing for families and single women and a Boy's and Girl's Club. Christmas toys and gifts (as well as free birthday items) may be available from programs such as Angel Tree. There are also free back to school supply giveaway events during the summer months.
