Our mission is to provide clothing to those in need and to provide a local donation facility for our community.

Lydia’s Loft opened it’s doors on Feb 10, 2004.  We provide clothing to those in need, free of charge. Our residents reside primarily in Northern Mecklenburg and Southern Iredell counties, however, our doors are open to all.

 

Lydia’s Loft is the perfect recycling center for residents who wish to donate their unneeded clothing items. There are many in our community who are unable to purchase what is needed for themselves and their families. Here at Lydia’s, we put the two together and everyone benefits!
