Southside Kids Clothing Bank provides free, gently-used clothing to children throughout Spokane’s South Hill and surrounding neighborhoods.
We are local families looking out for one another, making sure every kid has what they need to feel included and cared for.
Come to our second annual event, on Saturday, August 8th, 2026
from 10 AM- 12 PM
at Southside Food Pantry, located next to Trader Joe's at 2934 E 27th Ave. Spokane, WA 99223. Parking is limited.
We'll be giving away thousands of items of gently used clothes plus additional accessories for kids from newborn through youth sizing (approx 12 years old).
***WE ARE EXPECTING A LARGE TURNOUT. QUANTITIES ARE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST***
Our volunteers collect and distribute gently used children’s clothing to families in our community. No questions asked, no forms to fill out.
The goal is simple: make sure every child has what they need to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. We believe clothing support should be easy.
Every donation helps lighten the load for a family in our neighborhood.
1. Community Donations: Local families and schools contribute clothing, including items from Lost & Found closets across the South Hill.
2. Organizing & Sorting: Volunteers clean all donated clothing, then sort it by size, type, and condition.
3. Free Distribution: Our Annual pop-up event gives families the chance to pick out what they need, totally free of charge.
4. Passing Along Leftovers: Much of the inventory received can be laundered and distributed. However a portion of clothing does not meet our standards of lightly worn. These items are forwarded on to our partners. This year our partners include:
-Spokane Valley Partners Clothing Bank/Partners Inland Northwest
-Teen & Kid Closet
-God’s Closet
-Global Neighborhood Thrift (Supporting and Employing Local Refugees)
-Mission Community Outreach Center
We're grateful to the South Hill public schools for donating the contents of their Lost & Found at the end of the school year. Their generosity allows us to get these clothes back into the community at no cost.
Special thanks to Girl Scout Troop 2106, for helping out with our event and prep.
