Donate Clothing & Other Goods
Clothing
We are accepting LIMITED CLOTHING DONATIONS during specific hours. Please do not drop off items outside of our list and at other times because we aren't able to process them safely.
Thank you! We appreciate your help creating this opportunity for our clients while keeping our volunteers and staff safe.
As our needs and ability to process items change, we ask that you check our COVID-19 Donation information before you sort your donation and bring it to MOM.
CLOTHING DONATIONS DURING COVID-19
CLOTHING DONATION TIMES
Because we are working with a small number of volunteers and because our staff is not on site full-time, clothing donations should be brought to the Clothing Center Door. Please follow the directions posted on the door when you arrive.
Our clothing donation drop off times are:
Mondays from 10:00-12:00
Wednesdays from 2:00-4:00
**Please do not come during our food distribution as it is difficult to step away from our process and assisting clients to accept the donation.
Items left at the Main Office or Clothing Center during non-donation drop off times will be thrown away due to hygiene concerns.

Community Update - June 2020
What an extraordinary few months it has been! At MOM, we are doing our best to track the need and respond in the safest way we can for the overall, long-term health of our community. Learn about ongoing changes to our programs and how you can assist!
Sharing Warmth with Our Community
Thank you to Middleton Tourism Board’s Big Bundle Up for providing MOM with lots of warm winter gear. Visitors to our Clothing Center have been able to find what they need to keep warm this winter. We we were able to work with partners such as the Lussier Community Education Center and MSCR Cares sites to make sure winter clothing reached other kids and adults in our community who needed it. School social workers in Middleton and Madison were also able to pick out items needed by kids they work with.
Help End Hunger By Donating Your Old Wool Sweaters
Doing some spring cleaning? Donate your 100% wool sweaters. ReMitts will make these into warm winter mittens which will be sold to benefit MOM and other organizations fighting hunger.

Winter Wishes Brings Joy to Families
2020 brought with it many changes—including changes to how we carried out many of our programs at MOM. Due to COVID-19, we made adjustments in our Winter Wishes program. This year, we decided to offer Winter Wishes participants $50 gift cards for their family members, allowing them to personalize the program and have an opportunity to pick out those special gifts themselves. We are pleased to share that the program was an incredible success.
Warming up with Wigwam Socks
Thank you to United Way of Dane County for helping coordinate a donation of a pallet of socks from Wigwam, perfect for keeping feet warm during these cold winter months! We were able to make these socks available to visitors to our Clothing Center, through our mobile delivery, and to others who needed them.
Creating Stability for Our Neighbors
Michelle first contacted MOM to ask about getting access to the food pantry. In a shaky voice, Michelle explained she was caring for a sick family member, working part-time and attending school full-time. No matter how hard she tried, stability always seemed just out of reach. With your help, MOM was able to help Michelle through this crisis. With your continued support, we can do more than provide emergency assistance. We can help families in our community reach stability.
