Clothing Closet Ministry

The Community Clothing Closet is our largest in-house ministry. The Clothing Closet has been a part of our church for many years, and through this ministry we serve communities in Berks County and beyond. The mission of BNC Clothing Closet is to provide assistance to individuals and families in need of clothing free of charge.

Please DO NOT park in the lot at the apartments next to the church. This is senior housing, and the residents need their spaces open. Unauthorized cars will be towed. There is ample on-street parking if the church lot fills up. Thank you for your cooperation!
