The Cleaning Closet is a once-a-month free cleaning and hygiene product distribution. We are open the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 5:00-6:00 PM throughout the year at the church building. Those needing assistance must apply each month (a digital application is provided below). Applications must be submitted by 4:30 PM on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Supplies may be limited, so we will distribute in the order of application submission (first come, first serve).
Who and Why Do We Serve? The Cleaning Closet serves anyone in Lawrence County, MO, who may need some extra provision. We developed out of the overwhelming need to bridge the gap between services. Right now food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, etc do not cover any sort of cleaning or hygiene supplies. Moms can feed their kids but can’t wash their clothes. Dads can get them clothing at various places but might not have soap or shampoo to bathe them. The elderly may have meals on wheels but cannot get dish-washing cleaner to wash their dishes. You get the idea. The Cleaning Closet aims to fill these gaps in the system.
