Care Closet Values
What Is The Care Closet
The Mill Woods Care Closet is a food and clothing bank that seeks to meet the needs of those in our community. We provide non-perishable food, lightly used clothing, personal care items, and small household items. We are also available to listen and attend to emotional needs in a safe environment. The Mill Woods Care Closet is run and operated by Calvary Community Church.
Who We Serve
The Mill Woods Care Closet provides support to people of all faiths, the LGBTQ+ community, and every ethnicity. We seek to meet the needs of anyone that comes into our doors.
Community Care Fund
We are extremely fortunate to have such an amazing community that supports us. A special thanks to those who in various ways make the Care Closet possible by regularly stocking our shelves with a variety of food items and carefully inspecting all donated items that come for distribution. Their efforts over many years are greatly appreciated and without their assistance we could not operate so smoothly.
