WHO WE AREOur Mission: Clothed By Faith seeks to show God’s love by providing clothing to those struggling with poverty in Houston TX and the surrounding area.

From modest beginnings in the garage

of the founder’s home 18 months ago,

today CBF is 501c3 accredited and

operates from a 1250 sq. ft. warehouse

and office. We have a fantastic board

that work on a voluntary basis, 6 fulltime volunteers, another 7 who

work part time and then an extended network of 60+ helpers who are

on call when the need arises.

Client testimonial

“Thank you for your kindness & help, for which I’m really so appreciative…I feel so very blessed and happy…this is due to you. THANK YOU!” — Kathy B, Clothed By Faith Client.

WHAT WE DOWhen we give clothing, our policy is to only give gently used clothing that has been donated to us by the public. We wash and wrap the clothes and place in a gift bag before giving to the recipient. Gently used is a quality that our volunteers consider they would wear. We believe this shows our respect for our clients, and ensures their dignity when receiving our clothes.

Clothed By Faith is the largest Houston charity providing clothing to those struggling with poverty.

We meet and interact with our clients at; Breakfasts for the homeless “Pop-up” stores within under-privileged

communities, Individual requests through our website requests from school counsellors Harris County Police Department
