FAQ
General Program Questions
Who can use the Choice Closet?
We serve residents of Schleicher County who are referred by a partner organization or approved directly by Eldorado Service Center staff. If you’re not sure if you qualify, just reach out — we’re happy to help.
What does it cost to use the Choice Closet?
Nothing. There is no charge to enrolled participants. All items are “purchased” using monthly store credits provided by the program.
Credits & Shopping
How much credit do I get each month?
Each household receives approximately $90 in monthly credit, based on current product pricing. These credits are refreshed monthly.
Do unused credits roll over?
No. Credits reset at the beginning of each month, so we encourage you to shop while your balance is active.
What kind of items are available in the store?
Our inventory includes hygiene and cleaning items like:
- Toilet paper
- Shampoo and soap
- Toothpaste and mouthwash
- Laundry detergent
- Razors, deodorant, and more
Can I choose what I get?
Yes! That’s the heart of the program. You decide what’s most helpful for your household.
Technology & Accessibility
What if I don’t have a smartphone or internet?
No problem. We’ll help you place your order by phone or in person at the Eldorado Service Center. You’re still eligible for the full program.
Can someone else help me place my order?
Yes. If you’re a caregiver, family member, or volunteer supporting someone who qualifies, you can help submit orders on their behalf with permission.
Pickups & Fulfillment
When and where do I pick up my order?
Pickup is available at the Eldorado Service Center (400 W Murchison) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00–11:00 AM. You’ll choose a time when placing your order.
What happens if I miss my pickup?
We’ll reach out to help you reschedule. If an order isn’t picked up within 5 business days, it may be returned to inventory so others can access those items.
Giving & Volunteering
Can I donate to support the Choice Closet?
Absolutely. Financial donations help fund credits for families. You can also donate new, unopened hygiene products or sign up to volunteer.
Can I direct my donation to a specific person or item?
We prioritize general-use donations so we can serve all families fairly and efficiently. However, we’re happy to discuss specific item sponsorships or donor interests — just reach out.
