Cowtown Closet
Simply stated, we connect communities with clothing.
Cowtown Closet is the ONLY no-cost community closet in Fort Worth. Our doors are open to anyone with a need, regardless of their race, gender identity, income level or other socio-economic status.
We carry a wide selection of new and gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories in sizes ranging from preemie all the way to adult 5X.
Come see how everyone shops for free with Cowtown Closet!
There are three ways you can shop at our community closet
Open Shopping Hours
Our community closet is open to the public on the first and third Saturday of each month, from 9am - 1pm.
No appointment is necessary and there are no forms to fill out. The best part is, all of the items in the community closet are FREE!
Private Shopping (Self)
If you're unable to attend our open shop (or prefer a more personal experience) you can book a private shopping appointment. Pricing starts at $15/hour. You are still able to take as much clothing as you need for no cost.
Private Shopping (Group)
Want to bring your friends for an afternoon of free thrifting? We can make that happen! Our group events range from $100 - $150, depending on which options are selected. Everyone is invited to take as much as they need!
