Some rules do apply: You can only come once every 4-6 months. You must have proof of Saline County residency for your children. The Kids Closet is for children in need only–only you know if you are truly in need. Because a guess of 300 kids come through every month, there is a Christmas limit of 2-3 gifts per child. We also have used clothes, shoes (one pair only), and other items that you can get at the same time. If you have donations, they can be dropped off at the door anytime or during the open hours above in bad weather.
