Clothing & Essential Items

You don't have to figure this out alone. Whether we can assist directly or connect you with a trusted community partner, we'll do our best to help you find the next step.

If this is an emergency, call 911. For immediate community resources, call 211.

Having the right clothes and basic essentials can make a real difference. Through The Community Closet, Hope Bags when appropriate, and other applicable UHS initiatives, we help connect individuals and families with clothing, personal essentials, household-item resources, and other practical support. Direct material assistance depends on current inventory and availability.

How We Can Connect You

  • Connections to clothing resources through The Community Closet
  • Personal essentials and household-item resource navigation
  • Hope Bags and other applicable UHS initiative connections when appropriate
  • Help finding community organizations that provide clothing and essentials

Every situation is unique, and you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We'll take the time to understand your needs, explore available resources, and help connect you with the most appropriate support available.

We are currently building our verified resource directory.

Our team is carefully compiling a trusted, up-to-date directory of resources across Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina. While we build this list, please reach out and we will personally help connect you to available support.

You don't have to navigate this alone. We're here to walk beside you.
