Rosebud-based Clothes4U is a non-profit registered charity transforming the lives of people in need on the Peninsula and its surrounds. Since 2013 this dedicated group of 45 volunteers have provided free clothing, shoes and accessories to enhance the confidence and self-esteem of women and men who need it most.
What sets Clothes4U apart is that they not only provide clothing for interviews and workwear, they supply free clothes for all occasions, including everyday wear, work placements, special occasions, weddings, funerals, interviews, and seasonal clothes like jackets in winter.
Clothes4U volunteers give personalised assistance to provide appropriate clothing to suit the needs of every individual, so they leave the store feeling confident, happy and excited to step out in their new outfits. As well as free clothing, they provide Share The Dignity Bags and Nan’s Baby Bundles along with toiletries, bedding and towels.
There are two stores, one for men and one for women, so everyone is welcome and made to feel comfortable when they arrive for an appointment. These can be made by telephoning 0490 058 596.
Clothes4U rely on donations and volunteers. They’re grateful for the support they receive from the community and other charitable organisations. They’ve also partnered with Thread Together, an organisation that passes on end-of-season fashions, and Recycle Australia, both of which contribute to saving clothing from landfill to help win the war on waste.
If you can help, they would be grateful for financial donations, good-quality clothing, shoes and accessories to continue their essential service. As a non-profit charity, all contributions over $2 are tax-deductible. Financial donations can be made via their website.
Clothes4U is open Tuesday-Friday 10am-2pm, and the last Saturday of the month 10am-1pm. On the last Friday of the month they hold a sale open to the community and all proceeds go back into the charity. Every item costs $5, and all proceeds return to the business.
