Clara's Closet

Clara Small (1929 - 2017) was a pioneer in leading our congregation’s effort to establish the ministry that now bears her name, and we are grateful for her years of dedicated service on behalf of Buffalo’s refugee community.

Clara’s Closet Refugee Services, Inc. is a 501c3 organization.

Welcome The Stranger

Predicated on our Savior’s words in Matthew 25, Clara’s Closet seeks to minister to “the least of these” by clothing the naked and welcoming the stranger. In this way, we believe we are fulfilling Christ’s mandate to “love our neighbor as ourselves.” Clara’s Closet is a ministry that provides clothing and household items to help refugees and needy persons in the City of Buffalo community.

Clara's Closet Client Hours:
Wednesdays and Thursdays 10am-2pm by appointment only.

Donation Hours

Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it - Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:37-39​
