Village Closet

04/21/2026

This past Saturday, around 10 volunteers joined us at The Village Closet for our annual spring cleaning day 🧹 Swipe through to see some before & afters! We cleaned nonstop from 9 AM-4 PM 😲 Together we reorganized, relocated the toy shelf to allow for more foot traffic, weeded out stained items, dusted, vacuumed, put away winter gear, made a pregnancy clothing rack for the warmer months, found new places to display items & just had a grand ole time bringing this vision to life! THANK YOU to all our volunteers who spent their Saturday with us when they could’ve been anywhere else 🫶 We appreciate you & are excited to see all our shoppers this Wed (4/22) 1-3 PM & Sat (4/25) 10-noon! Come enjoy our new & improved space 🙌

*SIGH* Please don't be this person 🙄 Our door states "please no dumping" & we mean it! We don't accept car seat donations due to lack of space anyway, but someone left a big one outside of our door in the pouring rain without consulting a volunteer. Now it's filthy & heading to the landfill. Please consider everyone you affect other than yourself before doing something like this. We cannot have trash in front of our door as it risks us losing our space, reflects poorly on the closet as a whole & frustrates our volunteers who pour their *unpaid* time into finding homes for donations. Before you bring something to us to donate, ask yourself: "Does The Village Closet even accept this? Am I just sending this through more hands to avoid bringing it to the dump myself?" Thank you!
