Care Closet @ NKU

Come shop with us

The Care Closet @ NKU offers free clothing to assist NKU students in finding appropriate interview wear and everyday needs. Visit our location University Center 142.  

At the Care Closet, we believe that everyone deserves access to fashionable clothing, no matter their shape or size. Our selection of new and gently used items is hand-picked for college students who demand style without sacrificing individuality. We are dedicated to to providing a safe and equitable space for our students. Clothing has no color, gender, or race. Students, you belong here, you matter. Visit us for a shopping experience that's free of judgement and full of excitement.

Students can come to the Care Closet @ NKU for walk-in appointments during the open hours of operation or schedule an appointment with the Coordinator to visit the space outside of operating hours. We also offer monthly programming throughout the year and students are welcome to visit and shop at those events, in addition to the recommended 2x a year.

In partnership with LGBTQA+ Student Initiatives, the Care Closet @ NKU offers free chest binders to students. In Spring 2024, the Care Closet @ NKU raised over $1,000 for this cause!

Students must have their All Card to shop with us.
