Location changed for a Thanksgiving community meal!

11/27/2025

Do you know of someone in need of a holiday meal? We will have 100 holiday meals to give away on Thursday from 11am - 1pm. We will be set up just outside the entrance to the store (the store will be closed, but some volunteers will be there), handing out meals to those in need until those 100 meals are gone. We are very grateful to be able to do this and to all the people who made this possible!

We are open today 11/26 from 1-3 PM! We pulled some relevant books for the season/holidays ahead 🦃🕎🎄 & Santa is here waiting to welcome you (or go home with you 🎅) We have lots of amazing toys/games at the moment! Stop in & find something on your little one’s wishlist. Tons of holiday outfits are out as well. Also, someone donated a little play tent if you’d like to come grab it! See you soon 🛍️

👋 Wanted to give folks a gentle reminder from our tiny team of volunteers who run The Village Closet… PLEASE do not dump in front of our door. We could lose our space! Always come inside the closet to meet the volunteer & tell them exactly what you’re donating. If you don’t know what we take, our donation guidelines are pictured in the last photo of this post, on the wall inside of the closet & are always on our website.

Additionally, we are so grateful you consider us before sending items to the landfill, but The Village Closet is a vital community resource, not a dump! If your items are soiled, damaged beyond repair, missing parts, etc. we just cannot accept them. We do not have an area to wash your donations (we wish! 😝) We understand that everyone is just doing their best, but please consider the condition of your items before bringing them to us.

This all being said, we have MANY items we don’t usually accept that we now need to find homes for so our shoppers have space to walk around! We currently we have (updated 10/22):
-3 baby baths

If you or someone you know could use any of these items, please come see us this Wed 1-3 PM or Sat 10 AM-12 PM!
🎃 We have tons of Halloween costumes for your kids!
❄️ Our winter gear is out! Lots of jackets, boots, etc.
🤰 Pregnancy clothes, postpartum care & much more!

See you soon & thank you for reading!
