Visit the Bear's Closet

Are you experiencing a financial setback, and in need of fresh clothing, or shoes? We'll help you dress for success in the classroom, and beyond, through gently worn apparel.  Our services are free, and open to Phoenix College students.

Visit the Bears' Closet inside Phoenix College's Hannelly Center.

Participation is Easy

Just stop by our office during operating hours.  We're adjacent to the Counseling and Career Services offices, on the lower level of the Hannelly Center.

You'll be greeted by staff who'll invite you to browse our racks, as you would in any store. 

Explore clothing of all styles, colors and sizes, ranging from full suits to casual outfits.  Once you’ve found some items you like, feel free to try them on in our private dressing room.  We want you to feel great in the items you select!
