Basic Needs

The core focus is to provide essential services such as food assistance, clean and accessible clothing, hygiene products, referrals to other community resources, and supporting the youth. By addressing these needs, we aim to alleviate hardship, promote-self-sufficiency, and create a foundation for individuals and families to thrive. Here at COSC, we believe that no one should face barriers to basic resources.

COSC Clothing Bank

We collect gently used and donated clothing for the community facing economic challenges such as low-income families and individuals experiencing homelessness. The clothing bank has professional attire for job seekers and seasonal collections.

Our mission is to ensure everyone has access to clean, suitable attire, empowering people to pursue opportunities with dignity and confidence, while fostering community well-being.

We have volunteers and staff that will assist you when you come through!
