Clothes2U

Description

Much like Tim Horton’s is a system for delivering food items to the public, Clothes2U is a highly developed system for distributing necessities of life  to those in need. Clothes2U is a registered and environmentally friendly non profit society that helps  people in need of all ages, from baby to senior, male and female, with FREE clothes, diapers, toys, linens, books, footwear, and assorted personal and household items.

The recipients of this service are singles, single parents, kids, teens, seniors with one common denominator. They have fallen on hard times.

How

We give these items away by holding organized events in schools or churches. throughout the year. These events are open to all who need it, with no residency requirements.   Thousands of people benefit from this each year.

Testimonials

Hi there,
I just want to say a VERY BIG thank you for having clothes to you.
My husband and I are going through a tough time financially and that made it difficult to pay bills.
So, at the moment we are going through bankrupcy (something never thought I will) but … that’s what we are doing it.
This ministry is helping us… because buying clothes new or even at garage sales is sometimes tough because we need money for gas/food/rent etc… and with a new baby (3 months old almost) it is not that easy (not to mention baby toys at walmart or any toy are at least 7$ plus 12% tax and that eats up a lot of money besides formula/diapers/etc)
Thank you so much once again for this.
Could you tell me when the next clothes2u is and where? (so I can mark it down in my calender)

we really appreciate the clothes2u ministry.
Today, I brought my friend, she’s has 5 children.  Her husband works in another province to provide for them.
Sometimes, she bearly has money to pay rent and other necessities.
She was so happy to find toys for her girls and a big car (toy) to ride in.  She was trilled about this  ____________________________________________________________

It means a lot to my kids and me You’re an amazing person; it’s people like you that make our world a way better place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

_______________________________________________________________no What would you do if you lost your job and your unemployment benefits expired? There’s no money for household stuff that desperately needs replacing? Toys for the kids? How do you get this stuff that you need but can’t afford?

What’s next? Send the kids out to work?  If you don’t have the money for the basics, life sucks pretty bad.

To meet that need,  In 2002, Ernie Jantzen founded Clothes2U. This practical demonstration of caring for our neighbour started in Langley and now serves Abbotsford,  North Delta, Richmond, Chilliwack, various locations in Surrey as well as Langley. These cities are all located just east of Vancouver, BC.
