The Community Closet is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free clothing and shoes to individuals and families in our community. Our mission is to promote inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to meet their basic needs without financial barriers.
We recently secured a permanent location for the Community Closet in downtown Willmar, MN. This is exciting news! This new home for the closet will give more people access to our services, allow us to expand our inventory, enhance our services, and provide a welcoming space for community members to shop (for FREE!). This is where you come in! We are seeking funding to help with operational costs (rent & utilities) so we can continue to offer these services without charge to our community.
This project aims to serve a diverse population, including individuals of all ages and backgrounds, fostering a sense of belonging and support. In our new location, we anticipate increasing our capacity to serve over 5,000 community members annually, reducing clothing insecurity and empowering individuals through self-expression. We are requesting $10,000 to support this initiative and help us create a stable, lasting resource for our community.
