- Winter wear: coats, jackets, boots, gloves, scarves, hats
- Clothing: pants, shorts, sweaters, T-shirts, shoes, bathing suits

A note on thoughtful giving:
Managing textiles is time-intensive, and we deeply appreciate your consideration and respect for our community and organizers. How we dispose of textile waste is directly connected to how we consume it. Please donate mindfully and respectfully.
Please ensure that all donated items are new or gently used and in clean, wearable condition.
Note: Our campus respects our shared resources and may collaborate with the QC faith community to re-gift items for use at free community weekly meals before they are out of the range of best use.
