What's New Wednesday: Donate

I recently learned about a local non-profit, My Girlfriend's Closet whose mission is to distribute free, gently used clothing to local teenage girls and young women in need.  This prompted me to clean out my own closet and donate; I encourage others to do the same and contribute to this great cause. Get your spring cleaning on and help out! Below is information about the donation process.

Donate Clothing: My Girlfriend’s Closet needs gently-used, fashionable clothing and accessories for teenage girls and young women ages 13-22, including:

• Jeans
• Pants
• Shorts
• Skirts
• Shirts
• Sweaters
• Jackets
• Coats
• Dresses
• Party dresses
• Pajamas and robes
• Shoes
• Purses
• Belts
• Hats
• Jewelry
• Clean stuffed animals
• Unopened makeup and toiletries

My Girlfriend's Closet collects clothing throughout the year at the drop-off locations listed below. Please be aware that these are volunteers’ private homes.  Donations can be left on the front porches, preferably in plastic bags or boxes.  To receive a tax-deductible receipt, please provide a self-addressed envelope with your donation.
