Clothing Distribution Center
YWCA Elgin offers clothing for free to those in need at the Clothing Distribution Center.
The YWCA Elgin Clothing Distribution Center provides clothing to those in need. Local social service agencies provide our clients with their referrals. To receive a referral, you must meet the guidelines. Please review the Clothing Center rules before planning your visit.
If you do not qualify for a clothing voucher, the YWCA Elgin also opens our shop for individuals to purchase clothing at a drastically reduced price. For more information, click here.
