Clothing & Housewares Program

The Clothing & Housewares Program provides warm clothing to homeless and low-income men, women and children, and helps families and individuals create more stable homes with dishes, linens, pots, pans, small kitchen electrics, and other small household items.

Each month, the Clothing Program helps more than 2,600 individuals and families free of charge. To affirm guests' dignity and respect, the Clothing Program functions in a store-like environment. Guests select their own items to best suit their needs.

How to Donate to the Clothing & Housewares Program:

Donations of clean, like-new clothing and housewares make this program possible. Donations may be dropped off at 101 8th Street, at the corner of Mission Street, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Please pull into the parking lot, come to the door and ring the bell for assistance. For detailed list of items our clients need, and a list of items we regrettably cannot accept, please click here.

How to Access these Services:

Clothing Services are located at 1185 Mission Street, at the corner of 8th Street. Guests can choose one full change of clothing and may return once every four weeks.

The Stitchers for St. Anthony

For over 20 years, the Stitchers for St. Anthony have dedicated their time and talent to knitting, sewing and gathering thousands of shirts, sweaters, pants, dresses and blankets for the guests of St. Anthony's Clothing Program. Each month, members of the Stitchers meet in Pacifica to share ideas and to show each other their handicrafts before donating them to the families and individuals at the Clothing Program.

The Stitchers' dedication and compassion is evident as they continue to knit, stitch and gather beautiful gifts to clothe, comfort and sustain thousands of guests of St. Anthony's Clothing Program.
