Our Clothing Store

 

The Clothing Store operates in a spacious, dedicated room just steps away from the dining area and shares the same Wednesday 5 - 6:30 PM hours of operation.  The store is filled with a wide variety of neatly organized and displayed clothing and household items, where guests take turns shopping in small groups.

​

Donations of clothing and household goods are received from throughout the community and are distributed without cost to our guests. Please click here to see the type of donations we welcome.

​

In addition, special seasonal programs for the children are managed by the store volunteers. Back-to-school backpacks, Halloween costumes, and Christmas gifts are all carefully selected to match the child’s age and gender. Your donation, either of the items themselves or financial, is most appreciated for these very special programs. For a financial donation, simply send your check to Princeton Cornerstone Community Kitchen, marked for the Clothing Store, at 7 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton, NJ 08542.

​

We welcome new volunteers to help us sort, organize, and display donations. To sign up online click here, leave us a note in our mailbox, or contact the church office (609-924-2613).
