More than a closet

What You Can Find Here

Far more than a clothing closet. What comes in changes all the time, from everyday essentials to furniture and beds, so it never hurts to ask what is available.

More than clothing

  • Clothing and shoes
  • Hygiene and toiletry items
  • Household goods
  • Dry goods (pantry staples)
  • Furniture, beds, and larger items (often available, just ask)

Furniture, beds, and larger items come and go, and are arranged ahead of time (you set up a pickup for what you take). Ask Tia what is available: call (440) 841-6076 or send us a message.

Portrait of Tia Smith, founder of Tia's Closet.

Tia Smith founded Tia's Closet in 2023. She is someone who has known need herself and never stopped showing up for the people around her, the kind of person who would not let anything go to waste and who helped anyone she could.

She built Tia's Closet on one belief: neighbors should be able to help neighbors, with no judgment and no strings. Nothing here is ever sold. It is a safe space where anyone in need is welcome, no matter where they live, and where you never know what you will find or who you will end up talking to.

"Tia's Closet is here for everyone. Anyone in need is welcome, no matter where they stay, and nothing is ever sold. This is a safe space with no judgment, because I know what it is to struggle myself. Tia's Closet is all about neighbors helping neighbors."

Tia Smith

Founder, Tia's Closet

In her words: "I may not be able to help everyone with everything, but I am able to at least keep a smile on your face."

Community relief

Showing Up When It Counts

When an explosion struck Garden Valley, Tia's Closet and Kindred Harbor Behavioral Health held a supply drive for the families affected. Neighbors came out to donate, we served food to everyone who showed up to help, and the supplies we collected were delivered to the families in Garden Valley.

Donated clothing and supplies sorted at the Garden Valley supply drive. Boxes of supplies and diapers loaded into a truck for delivery. Volunteers loading donated supplies at the truck. Families receiving the supplies delivered to Garden Valley. Volunteers serving food to neighbors who came out to donate at the supply drive. Volunteers preparing boxed meals for the neighbors who came to donate at the supply drive. A volunteer in a "Do Everything with Kindness" shirt at the supply drive. An ice cream cart and supply tables at the Garden Valley supply drive.

Service Runs in the Family

You gotta open up sometime. I've dealt with my share of therapists and case managers, but Kindred Harbor isn't like any of them. They care more about the client than the money, and they really try to match clients with the right person.— Tia

Kindred Harbor Behavioral Health was founded by a brother and sister, a Marine veteran and a social worker, raised by parents who spent their careers in service to this community.

We are proud to partner with Tia's Closet and to help keep her doors open and her shelves stocked. The care she gives Cleveland-area residents is exactly the kind this community deserves.

We are a community-based behavioral health agency offering therapy, case management, and on-site programs at aging adult facilities across Greater Cleveland. We accept all Ohio Medicaid plans and most private insurance, and everyone is welcome here.

If you came here for essentials and you are carrying heavier things too, we would be honored to walk alongside you. When you are ready, take the first step.

Get started Visit kindredharbor.org

Prefer to talk to someone first? Call (216) 777-6062.

The Get started form is hosted by Ritten, our secure care platform.

Everything at Tia's Closet is free and open to all, with no appointment, no application, and no obligation. Support from Kindred Harbor Behavioral Health is always optional.
