Apparel and Footwear Donations

At the Northwest Regional Re-entry Center (NWRRC), we understand the challenges that individuals with criminal convictions face when reintegrating into society. Many or our residents arrive with little to no resources, and we rely on the generosity of our community to help provide gently used quality apparel and footwear. This small gesture can make a big difference and help them feel seen and valued.

Why Your Donations Matter

Many of our residents travel on foot or by public transportation, making it essential to have appropriate clothing for various weather conditions. We have a specific need for raincoats, cold-weather clothing, hoodies and athletic shoes to ensure our residents can travel to their jobs and work comfortably.

Items We Accept

Due to limited storage space, we can only accept the most requested and essential items. Here is a list of the items we currently need:

Clothing: clean, new and gently used adult-sized items, including hoodies, sweatpants, and jeans. Sizes: medium to double extra-large
Underwear and Socks: These must be new and in the manufacturer’s packaging. Unpackaged undergarments will not be accepted. Sizes: 8 – 14 for men; 6 – 12 for women
Footwear and Belts: Slightly used quality athletic shoes and conservative nylon or leather belts.

How to Donate

Apparel and footwear donations to NWRRC are tax-deductible. To make a donation, drop off hours are Monday – Saturday, 8am – 4:30pm. For any questions, please contact Joel Robison at 503-804-4549 or email: joelr@nw-rrc.org.
