Clothing Assistance

You can request clothing assistance by filling out our online form above. The form will ask you to indicate your child's clothing and shoe size. After filling out a request, our packers will create a clothing pack based on your child's size and preferences. Once your clothing is ready, we will contact you to let you know the clothing is ready for pick up!

A clothing pack provides a “school week’s” worth of clothing. Each clothing pack includes at least 5 outfits, 5 new pairs of underwear, 3-5 pairs of new socks, a pair of shoes, pajamas and a jacket. You can opt out of receiving certain items if you do not need them. Each pack is "made to order" based on your child's size and style preference. 

Each pack is made to the specifications you list, so please indicate any considerations in the Additional Information section of the request form! 

We serve children from Birth to High School graduation. In clothing, we carry sizes Newborn through Adult 4XL. In shoes, we carry sizes Infant 1 through Adult 13. If your child needs a size that we do not have readily available, please contact us! 

Clothing packs may take up to 3 weeks to make. Here's why:

• Each clothing pack is created by our team of volunteer pack-makers who generously donate their time to Give Like a Mother. 
• We take great pride in ensuring each clothing pack is created unique to the style, preferences and size of the child. 
• We want to make sure each child receives 5 outfits. Sometimes we do not have your child's size readily available and must wait for donations of that particular size or purchase items to offset the lack of inventory.

You can make a request every 4 months, as needed. We will happily provide additional items in case of an emergency or if your child has outgrown their previous size. 

There are no income restrictions or qualifications for receiving clothing assistance. Our program operates at no cost to our clients. Although everyone loves the idea of free clothing, we ask that only families who truly need help request clothing assistance, that way we are able to continue serving families with the greatest need. The only requirement to receive clothing assistance is that you must be able to pickup your clothing from our facility (or live within the delivery radius). We do not offer shipping services.

Important things to note:

• We provide clothing to children and teens only: Birth through high school graduation. 

This year we've partnered with the United Way of Greater Cincinnati to provide free deliveries to families through DoorDash. Families who reside within a 10 mile radius of our facility are eligible for a free delivery. We will contact you with delivery information when your clothing is ready.
