Starting a Clothing Distribution Program FAQs

Currently, Note in the Pocket is in North Carolina with two locations that cover the Triangle Region. Our Wake County location is in Raleigh, North Carolina and our Durham County location is in Durham, North Carolina.

This is a great question. Note in the Pocket has a very tight focus. We do clothing and we do it well. Having a strict focus has allowed us to grow our service numbers every year since we received our 501c3 in 2013.
