A room full of winter clothes

The Student Activities Office is excited to once again offer the Carleton Winter Wardrobe. The Wardrobe provides Carleton students with gently used winter clothing and accessories free of charge. Minnesota winters can be extreme and we recognize that not all students are adequately prepared to be outside during the long winter months. The Wardrobe will focus on Carleton students with the greatest financial need, but is open to the entire student body.

Donations

For those wishing to donate items in person, donations are currently being accepted in the Student Activities Office in the lower level of the Sayles-Hill Campus Center (room 051), M-F between the hours of 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., or by appointment. As we get closer to the opening, donation barrels will also be located just outside the Student Activities Office.

For those mailing items, please send to:

Carleton College
Student Activities Office, Attn: Winter Wardrobe

Northfield, MN 55057

Carleton students are in need of the following:

  • Coats & jackets
  • Scarves
  • Gloves & mittens
  • Winter boots
  • Hats & earmuffs
