The West Seattle Food Bank has announced a special clothing drive to stock the shelves of its new West Seattle Clothesline location at 5444 Delridge Way SW, Suite 100.

The community is invited to donate new or gently used, season-appropriate clothing for both adults and children. While all clean items are welcome, organizers noted that menswear is especially needed at this time. The donation events are scheduled for Saturday, February 7; Tuesday, February 10; and Thursday, February 12, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m..

The West Seattle Clothesline is a program dedicated to providing free clothing to neighbors experiencing hardship. By offering essential items for daily life, the program aims to provide local residents with dignity, choice, and access to necessary resources. These upcoming donation days are critical to ensuring the facility is prepared for its official reopening to clients on Tuesday, February 17.

“Every donated coat, pair of jeans, and warm sweater helps ensure our Clothesline is ready to welcome community members into our new space,” said Karen Dahl, Clothesline Program Coordinator.

Supporters should note that the Clothesline will be closed for both donations and distribution on Saturday, February 14.
