Clothing Assistance

Clothing Closet Clients: Please complete this form in it’s entirety if you are in need of clothing in order to best match your preferred gender presentation.

*Each client who is selected to receive clothing assistance will be provided with a safe, affirming, private virtual environment, in which to view, select, and approve of the replacement clothing in order to deliver or ship the items. Our first location is based in Atlanta, Georgia.

*Selected applicants will be given the opportunity to schedule an appointment with our clothing closet volunteers.

Facebook Page: This space is where we post “Out Of The Closet” updates, news, and events!

Facebook Group: This space is associated with TMN’s project “Out Of The Closet”. Trans/Queer/Gender Non-conforming folks, join the group & if you have a need, POST IT! If you have some things you don’t need, OFFER THEM UP to someone who needs them!

*TMN Services Network’s “Out Of The Closet” Clothing Assistance only provides assistance to those within the 48 Continental United States.

*Ideally, we prefer clients to be in the general location of a TMN “Out Of The Closet” location. However, exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis.

*Persons of color, immigrants, former inmates, sex workers, disabled individuals, & youth get first priority. Only a limited amount of applicants will be selected to receive clothing assistance each month, all others will be given local resource referrals to find appropriate clothing, as we do not like to leave any client empty handed.

Clothing Closet Donations: If you have unwanted, gently used clothing you’d like to donate to TMN Services Network’s “Out Of The Closet” Assistance Project, please complete this form telling about your clothing items. This helps us to understand what donations we have, and easily keep up with our inventory. Thank you very much for supporting this important and much needed outreach, we appreciate our donors!

*Donations with visible stains, holes, tears, rips, shears, missing buttons, broken zippers, or threading errors will not be accepted. TMN Services Network is dedicated to helping transgender people get access to presentable clothing they feel comfortable wearing.

Clothing Closet Volunteers: are our “Resource Distribution” Team Members. They are responsible for creating and maintaining a dedicated space for donated clothing for transgender clients in need of replacement clothing. This may include: A virtual conference on platforms like Marco Polo, FaceTime, Skype, or Google Meet/Hangouts, with selected clients. This will allow clients to pick out clothes. The resource distribution team members will provide a storage space for clothing, receiving donations, and delivery of donations (generally by meeting the client in a safe, public place to hand deliver the clothing items, or possibly shipping to the client’s provided address).

*Reimbursement of shipping costs can be discussed if/when the situation arises, and if current funding allows, will be granted. For questions, comments, or to check on the status of your clothing appointment, shipment, or delivery please reach out to our email address: OOTCATL@transmattersnow.com.

Additional OOTC Branches: TMN is actively seeking volunteers to launch additional “Out Of The Closet” branches in additional U.S. cities. If you are interested in applying to coordinate an OOTC branch in your local area, please complete this form.
