The Batavia Interfaith Clothes Closet is a volunteer agency that is directed and operated as an extension of the food pantry by community and local church volunteers residing throughout the greater Fox Valley. Those who visit and use our Clothes Closet are our neighbors and friends: people with disabilities, seniors, low income families, and families who have lost their jobs. You can also learn more about them by visiting them on the web at www.bataviafoodpantry.org.
