The Antioch Traveling Closet (ATC) is a not-for profit organization (Tax ID# 82-1113851), that benefits local families in need of clothing, toiletries, school and household cleaning supplies.   Antioch Traveling Closet is recognized as a 501(c)3.

The ATC began with a recruited handful of volunteers that has quickly grown into a widespread community effort supported through area residents and local businesses.

What are the objectives of the Antioch Traveling Closet?             

The ATC mission is to ensure that all children, adults, and/or senior citizens have basic items that most of us take for grant.  For example, ATC provides individuals, with items as simple as a toothbrush and paste.

What items does the Antioch Traveling Closet collect?

The ATC amasses donated items from the community such as new or very slightly used clothing, winter jackets, boots, hats, gloves, shoes, books, and toiletries.   In addition, we also collect school materials and cleaning supplies for the home.   Which are then distributed, free of charge, at our monthly giveaways.

We also provide clothing, toiletries, and sometimes food to local families that become suddenly homeless on an as needed basis.   Area schools will contact ATC for the above-mentioned items many times throughout the school year.

Who are the people who benefit from the Antioch Traveling Closet?

The residents of our community range from senior citizens, single parents, grandparents raising their grandchildren, Veterans, and families simply upon hard times.  On a first come, first serve basis, the residents of our community can come and shop for whatever items they need, free of charge, no questions asked.  Several local hairstylists also provide free haircuts.
