Clothing Center
The Clothing Center is an integral part of our MOM mission and is open the same hours as the Food Pantry.
Here, clients will be greeted by friendly volunteers guiding them to find clothes that may help them dress for success at a job interview, provide clothing for growing children, or otherwise assist with bedding.
Dishware is provided to support those moving from homelessness to an apartment, relieving them of this financial burden.
In operation for over 15 years, the program saves customers over a half million dollars at thrift store prices every year.
Donate Clothing & Other Goods
MOM's Clothing Center provides clothing to clients at no-cost to help people extend their budgets. MOM accepts good-quality in-season clothing.
Donate Money
Hunger and the threat of homelessness affect all aspects of a child's life. Your financial gift is about so much more than meeting day-to-day needs. It's about giving families - individuals, parents, and kids - the support they need to make it through today and live with hope for the future. Financial gifts of money help support MOM's programs, such as the Food Pantry, Clothing Center, Homelessness Prevention (Housing) programs, Family Stabilization and seasonal programs in the Middleton, West Madison and Cross Plains areas of Wisconsin.
Individual Volunteer Opportunities
Individual Volunteer positions range from weekly commitments, to on-call opportunities.
Not just socks, it's success
Three years ago, when Hannah arrived at MOM for her first appointment with a case manager, things weren’t going well. If she didn’t make a payment soon, her utilities would be shut off. Hannah knew MOM had a food pantry and clothing center. She hoped she could leave with some bread, milk and maybe warm socks for the winter so she could use her limited resources to make a payment on her utility bill. MOM helped her with those things--and provided her the turning point she needed to be successful.
4-H Cross Plains Wondermakers' Year of Service
Youth from the 4-H Cross Plains Wondermakers decided to go the extra mile this year. Instead of choosing one project to support MOM, the youth spent the entire year doing a variety of projects with the goal of making a difference for families in our community.
Recycled Materials Have New Uses at MOM
Community means an eclectic group of individuals sharing common interests and attitudes. MOM is filled with a wonderfully broad spectrum of volunteers, giving us both balance and diversity. The many uses we've gotten out of some unique donated material demonstrates this. Ideas are typically born with one question, "What might I do," and this project started the same way.
Volunteer Highlight: Gail Krc
Gail Krc has volunteered regularly at MOM since 2011, accumulating an amazing 1,700 volunteer hours in that time. As a volunteer, Gail has filled a number of different roles. In fact, here at MOM, we think there’s nothing she can’t do!

We added a program director in July and are now excited to add Sarah Bogen. Sarah, who has been a volunteer with MOM in the Food Pantry and at the Mobile Food Pantry, joined us as our new Distribution Center Assistant on September 24.
Changing a little piece of her story, together.
To me, there is nothing more important than using our lives and our voices to do what we can to create an equitable community. There is nothing better we can do than to act.
