A warm community gathering at Next Round in Oakland — neighbors of different ages talking and laughing

Community

The reason the store exists

Next Round is a business, but it's built around a community. From a free kids' clothing program to weekly gatherings, this is a place where Oakland shows up for itself.

Flagship Program

Free kids' clothing, always

Every family deserves to dress their kids with dignity. Our free kids' clothing program keeps the neighborhood's youngest in clean, good-condition clothes — no cost, no gatekeeping.

Donate gently used children's clothing, or come shop it for free. If you know a family who could use it, send them our way.
