(May 22, 2019) — There has been a change in policy for Haddam’s Community Closet, which is located in the Town Annex building at 11 Jail Hill Road in Haddam.
Haddam’s Community Closet has been located at the Annex Building since June 2017. It’s like a swap shed for clothes. If you have clean, gently used clothing, drop them off during the hours of operation or at any time in the brown bin outside of the Social Services Office at the Annex. If you want or need clothing, come browse the gently used clothing and shoes for newborns to adults. They are open the first and third Saturday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Unfortunately, it appears there has been abuse of the Clothing Closet.“Unfortunately we are now in a position to have to limit the number of bags that shoppers can take from the Community Clothing Closet each visit. We have come to believe that clothing is being taken from the Closet and then consigned for profit. We are currently investigating with area consignment shops. It is theft and there will be repercussions. Sadly, the biggest victims are those in our community who are in need,” it was announced on the Town of Haddam’s Facebook page.
If you have a greater need than our new policy will allow for, please contact Jessica Condil at Social Services (860-345-4621).
An important note to our generous donors:
- We are not accepting any Fall/Winter clothing at this time. Please save these for the Fall as we have no storage space.
- We are not accepting any size SMALL women’s clothing at this time.
- We are not accepting any men’s suits or sports coats at this time.
- We are in desperate need of Spring and Summer clothing for children of all sizes.
