Madonna House provides a food and clothing program. Any family in need can come to Madonna House for a food basket. Requirements are to sign their name on an income guideline form, and to show proof of current address. Current Drivers License, State ID, Medical Card, or utility bills are acceptable forms of proof. The food pantry is supplied with food from the Central Illinois Food Bank. We receive commodities, free of charge, and we can purchase other food items at a reduced cost. Madonna House served 307 families (816 individuals) in October, with a noted increase in the average number of families served in the last 2 months.

The Clothing Closet is also a program we offer. Members from the community and local businesses donate used clothing which supplies our clothing closet. Due to Marion Gardner Jackson Charitable Trust, Madonna House was able to build a new garage which has allowed us to quadruple the size of the clothing closet and allow us to hang the clothing so that it is easier for families to find what they need. We are now able to serve a greater number of people in need in a more efficient manner. In an average month Madonna House serves 60 families with the food bank and 44 families with the clothing pantry.

St. Anthony Foundation’s Free Clothing Program is San Francisco’s largest free clothing program, providing warm clothes, interview or employment apparel, and children’s clothing to homeless and low-income families and individuals five days a week. Through nearly 4,500 donations from individuals and corporate partners and the dedication of 650 volunteer hours, the program provides free like-new clothing to 29,000 men, women and children each year.

The average family spends $700 a year on clothing a growing child; the majority of families have two or three children which can mean spending up to $2,100 a year. For a low-income or single parent struggling to pay rent, health costs and other critical bills, a clothing budget may be nonexistent. Our bilingual staff welcomes guests in a store-like environment where they select their own household and clothing items to best suit their needs. Whether wardrobe items for a job, warm clothes for winter months, or school clothes for growing young boys and girls, the Clothing Program provides high-quality clothes that instill a stronger sense of self-worth and dignity, and improve personal presentation to help clients secure and maintain employment. 

In addition to the ongoing services at the Clothing Program’s Mission Street location, an emergency clothing closet next door to St. Anthony Dining Room provides emergency clothing to guests who would not otherwise make it to clothing services. Through this expanded service we can ensure that seniors and guests with disabilities receive clothes necessary for their safety, comfort and dignity.
