Declutter, destress

Join a positive cycle
How Clothing Insecurity Affects Health and Well-being
Limited job opportunities
Access to proper clothing can play a vital role in breaking the cycle of poverty by enabling individuals in your community to pursue education, employment, and other opportunities.
Homelessness and the need for proper clothing
For individuals experiencing homelessness, proper clothing is essential for protection against harsh weather conditions and for maintaining dignity.
Health risks of inadequate clothing
Wearing dirty and soiled clothing pose a risk of developing various health problems, like skin infection, respiratory and digestive disease, and infestations of lice, scabies, and bed bugs.
Embrace the opportunity to build yourself so you can give back to the world.
By making space in your closet for what truly matters to you, you'll not only declutter your surroundings but also clear your mind, fostering a sense of self-growth and inner peace. As you part with those items that no longer serve you, you're not only helping yourself but also making a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate.

Making a Difference Has Never Been Easier
Our free clothes donation pick-up service offers a convenient and reliable way for NYC residents to donate their gently used clothing, without adding additional stress or clutter to their already busy lives. Simply schedule a pick-up time, prepare your clothing for pick-up, and hand over your donation to our friendly and reliable staff. It’s that easy.
Empower Your Clothes to Inspire Meaningful Change
To ensure that your donations have the most significant impact, and your clothes get a second chance, we allocate a portion of the clothing we receive to provide free clothing on a daily basis to over 80 families facing financial hardship. Moreover, we sell a portion of the clothing to cover the cost of running our clothing drive, create more jobs and fuel new opportunities.

I scheduled a pick up for today. It is now 9 AM and St. Mary’s has already picked up! I live in an apartment building, the driver called a few minutes ahead, and I brought the bags down. He was very pleasant. Also, whenever I have called St. Mary’s someone answers quickly, very rare these days.
Thank you for your good work
