Our Spring Open Closet: Collection Drive has officially wrapped — and we are blown away by your generosity.
From brand-new outfits to gently loved pieces, your donations were full of heart and intention. Thanks to YOU, we’ve collected beautiful clothing and hygiene items that will go directly into the hands of those who need them most.
This is what community looks like. This is what showing up feels like.
We’re already sorting and prepping — and we can’t wait to welcome you to our upcoming Open Closet Distribution Event, happening very soon.
Keep checking for detauls.
HYGIENE HAUL
We are asking for your support in helping us to provide new hygienic items and toiletries for both men and women. This is an essential part of self care and maintaining a healthy life style. Our Fall Open Closet is quickly approaching, so any time is a great time to contribute.
Help Us, Help Others.
