St. John’s Closet is a community resource hub fueled by generous donations. It’s open to everyone in Island Lake and neighboring towns, whether you're facing hardship, looking to stretch your budget, or aiming to reduce your environmental impact.

​All items are free of charge and no donation is required to browse.

How to Donate to St. John's Closet

There are three ways to donate:
​
  • Use the gray outdoor donation bin near the steps in the church parking lot, ideal for smaller donations.
  • Donate in person during Closet shopping hours.
  • For larger donations or fragile items, you can schedule an appointment to meet with a volunteer.

​We're always accepting donations to help support our community. For clothing donations, we kindly ask that items be clean and from a smoke-free home.
