Reopened

Our clothing store, in a newly set-up space

The reopened Compassion Society of Halton clothing store, with long racks of shirts, pants and children's clothing under bright track lighting.

Burlington, ONWe are happy to announce that our clothing store has reopened this week. Please be patient with us as we navigate our newly set-up space during our busy holiday season. Thank you to all volunteers and staff who have helped to navigate this important community resource.

We appreciate your support!

Mina's Closet carries on the work our founder began.

Mina's Closet continues the work our founder, Mina Wahidi, began more than 25 years ago with a single clothing rack in her Burlington basement and an open invitation to any neighbour who needed it. Today the store offers clothing for adults and children, free of charge, in a space where people choose what fits their household.

Registered households can visit Mina's Closet twice each month, subject to availability. A team member will show you which sizes and seasons are in stock, and the same registration lets you shop our Food Market for groceries once each week.

Your first visit is a walk-in, and no appointment is needed.

If you live in Halton and are new to Compassion Society of Halton, come in during our first-visit hours. Bring government-issued photo ID or a utility bill from the past 60 days that shows your name and Halton address. A team member will register you and show you around.

Many hands keep the store ready for every visit.

Volunteers arrange the clothing floor, restock the racks and help neighbours find their way around, so every visit feels organized and welcoming. If you have a few hours to give, our volunteer team has a place for you in the store, in the warehouse and at the front desk.

KEEP EXPLORING
