GIA Clothing Bank
The GIA Clothing Bank provides low-income families the opportunity to purchase good quality used clothing at greatly discounted prices. Clothes for the entire family, plus accessories including shoes and purses, can be found among the racks and shelves that fill the building. Patrons must pay with cash and returns are not accepted. We request that young children not accompany adults when possible, as the space is limited, and we don't want any mishaps. Babies in carriers are always welcome. Other than funds for keeping up the building, all proceeds from clothing sales go back into the community in the form of grants to local nonprofits.

Our History
The Clothing Bank started many years ago as a volunteer project of Church Women United to provide needy families with low-cost good quality clothing. The Greeley Interfaith Association took over the operation of the Clothing Bank in 2000 when Church Women United volunteers could no longer maintain it.

Donations
All the clothing for sale is donated by people in our community or by other used clothing stores, such as Once Upon a Child and Plato’s Closet. Donated clothing must be in good condition and freshly laundered. Clothing that is not usable by the Clothing Bank is given to other thrift stores such as Goodwill and ARC. Any clothing that is not suitable for reuse is recycled for industrial reuse, so nothing goes to waste!You may bring your donations to the Clothing Bank between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (closed on holidays). Please do not leave clothing outside the building when we are closed. We are very appreciative of the generosity of our community!
Layette Program
Donated clothing for newborn infants and babies up to one-year-old are set aside for the GIA Layette Program. Additional layette donations of baby bottles, disposable diapers, and receiving blankets may be dropped off at the Clothing Bank. GIA’s Layettes are assembled and distributed to needy families of newborns via doctors and hospitals.
Clothing Vouchers
Clothing vouchers that reduce the cost of each item by 90% are available at various faith communities and social service agencies in our community that provide case management. A voucher allows every adult and child in the family to purchase eight items of clothing at the reduced cost. The voucher is valid for a year and may be reissued after three months.

Volunteers are needed!
Both men and women are welcome to volunteer. Volunteers ages 16–17 must have a signed parent or guardian permission form. Volunteers ages 12–15 are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities to match different interests and abilities. Some volunteers work while seated, pricing clothing; others enjoy being on the sales floor stocking racks and assisting with merchandise. Experienced volunteers may be trained to operate the cash register and handle the daily cash drawer and bank deposit.
Volunteer shifts are generally 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with about six volunteers serving each day. Individuals may volunteer on their own, or groups may cover an entire shift. Some groups divide the day into two shorter shifts. Whether you can volunteer one day each week or just one day each month, we would love to have you join us.
Training is provided, and our friendly volunteer team will help you get started.
To learn more about this rewarding opportunity, please call (970) 356-5897.
