CeDAR’s Clothing and Toiletry Pantry

Clothing and Toiletry Pantry for Residential Patients at CeDAR

Below is a list of common needs for our residents. Having suitable clothing offers residents that much more comfort to hopefully allow a little more piece of mind so they may get the most out of their treatment experience. We accept clothing of all shapes, sizes, styles and seasons. Not only is the pantry a huge resource to our residents, it’s a service opportunity for alumni.

Donations may be dropped off to CeDAR seven days a week during normal business hours at the front desk. If sending new items, you may have them shipped to CeDAR at 1693 North Quentin Street, Aurora, CO 80045 c/o Meghan White.

Please note, clothing must be treatment appropriate. Think casual and comfortable. Please do not donate graphic tees especially ones advertising a brewery, dispensary or alcohol brand. Clothing must be in good used condition so no rips, tears, odors or stains. We only accept adult clothing and at this time we have no need for formal wear or business attire. We also do not need dresses, skirts, high heels or low-cut shirts, again treatment appropriate. And, I can’t believe I have to say this, but we do not accept swimsuits. Yes, they have been donated before!
