Our Story

New Circles Community Services is a not-for-profit, grass-roots agency that builds strong and caring communities by providing clothing and skills training programs to equity-deserving individuals.

Clothing is just the beginning. We know to build strong and caring communities we must provide our clients with programs to help them integrate socially and economically into the community. We offer volunteer programs, skills training and office and retail skills programs, and settlement support services.

Why Clothing?

The UN’s Declaration of Human Rights identifies clothing as a necessity, which together with food and housing, creates the foundation for an adequate standard of living.

Proper clothing is essential to good health, self-esteem, social inclusion and employability. Through the New Circles GLOW clothing program, our clients have access to free, gently-worn clothing, freeing up their resources for food, housing, and other necessities. A family of four using our clothing program can save up to $5,000 annually.

We continue to be committed to living out our core values that define what we stand for, and how we deliver our mission.
