The Interfaith Clothing Center & UpCounty Clothing Center are Merging

Beginning July 1, 2010 the Interfaith Clothing Centers will be merging and all operations will be run out of the Rockville Center at 751 Twinbrook Parkway.  We will continue to provide excellent service to all of our clients, and clients from our Gaithersburg center will now be served in our newly renovated Rockville location. We hope that all of our wonderful UpCounty donors and volunteers will continue to support the program at its new location.

Donations can be made during the new extended hours at the Rockville Center. UpCounty, there are donation bins located at 620 E. Diamond Ave in Gaithersburg and 19951 Father Hurley Blvd. in Germantown. Please contact our Rockville Center at (301) 424-3796 with any questions. And as always, we need your help! Volunteer at the Rockville Center and help us serve our neighbors in need.

About The Interfaith Clothing Center
The ICC has been helping qualified low-income families in Montgomery Country stretch their dollars for over 20 years. Coming from every corner of Montgomery County, clients are young and old, male and female, single and married, and span all races. They are working poor, homeless, disabled, recent immigrants, parolees, welfare recipients and seniors living on fixed incomes. Over 100 congregations, social service organizations and government agencies refer clients to our center.

Thousands of individuals, businesses, schools, camps, service organizations and congregations donate time and goods, which makes our program possible. Donations of clothing, shoes, and household items are distributed to its clients during shopping hours throughout the week. Clients select and receive free of charge, the items they need and want. Interfaith Works assists over 6,000 low-income and homeless families, over 16,000 individuals, yearly in this way. By providing basic necessities free of charge we enable our clients to use their scarce financial resources for other pressing needs, including rent, food, transportation, and health care.

The center also distributes backpacks and new school supplies to students every August, and provides layettes to new mothers, because all children in our community deserve to have the basics.

The ICC is open year round and closed on Sundays, Federal holidays, Yom Kippur, Good Friday and Thanksgiving Friday. Snow policy follows the Federal Government.
