Retired volunteers run Cedar Rapids Clothes Closet at Echo Hill
Bethel AME members Beets and Hillsman founded the Clothes Closet in 2005 to aid refugees and locals. They ran it from Echo Hill since 2007, offering unlimited clothing with no client limits, serving up to 600 monthly, aided by small donations and waivers of utility costs. They seek a new site by summer as they plan to continue helping the community.
