KiDs Closet-1632 W. Main Street

(Formerly C.A.R.D.S. Closet). A free clothing resource for Sun Prairie and Marshall School Families. Referral needed, by appointment only.

Shop at KiDs Closet

We believe every child deserves clean clothing and warm winter wear. KiDs Closet is a free clothing resource for children and youth in the Sun Prairie and Marshall School Districts. No questions asked; no red tape.

If you are in need of clothing and your child attends Sun Prairie or Marshall Schools, please contact your child’s school social worker, or reach out to kidscloset@sunshineplace.org to ask about a referral from our partnering onsite community social worker. Once a referral is received, families can select clothing in private and compassionate 30-minute appointment, up to 4 times a year.

*This year we will accept new/gently used winter gear YEAR-ROUND, in addition to our seasonal clothing. This allows us to store and save hard-to-find winter items so that they are ready to go for the coming winter. 

KiDs Closet Donation Bin Open Daily: Monday-Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, 1632 W Main St, Sun Prairie

Clothing Donations

KiDs Closet accepts NEW underwear and socks, and clean/gently used SEASONAL SCHOOL-AGED (K- High School) clothing and footwear only. Please only donate clothing that your child or a child you know would feel good wearing. 

Review the lists below BEFORE donating:

Items Accepted YEAR-ROUND:

  • Men’s & Women’s athletic shorts
  • Boy’s & Girl’s athletic shorts
  • Women’s & Girl’s leggings– especially black ones
  • NEW underwear
  • NEW socks
  • New/gently used winter gear


Our KiDs Closet team has a few friendly reminders:

  • Besides the items noted above, we are currently accepting school-age children’s SUMMER clothes/shoes
  • Items should be new or gently used — no stains, holes, or heavy wear
  • Again, underwear/socks must be NEW
  • Please clean items before donating. We do not have the capacity to do laundry.
  • We do NOT take baby items of any kind
  • Do not leave donations outside the bin or facility — items left outdoors can be damaged by weather and cannot be used.
  • If you are unable to sort your donation items (i.e. only kids, only fall clothing/footwear), we encourage you to donate them to St. Vincent’s, Babies & Beyond of WI, Inc. or elsewhere

Thank you for helping us provide clothing that supports children’s confidence and dignity. We appreciate your continued support!
