Little Known Secrets Of The PRISM Clothes Closet Change Lives

Our Clothes Closet benefits shoppers, donors and volunteers.

The Clothes Closet is so much more than just clothes. Want to know why you should donate to the Clothes Closet — or shop there?

Help someone find a job

According to volunteer, Gloria Peck, many people do not have clothing appropriate for an interview and can’t afford nice clothes, even at thrift store prices. At the Clothes Closet, they can find clothing for that important interview, often just using those few coins from the bottom of their pockets or purses. If they are able to get the job, they can find clothing to wear on the job as well.

Brighten the day for a young girl

Gloria relates the following story, “A 6 year old girl recently fell in love with a very romantic satin little girl’s dress and wore it over her other clothes for the rest of the time her mom was shopping in the food shelf. She was aglow!”

Improve the life of those less fortunate in other countries

Did you know that shoes are very expensive in Africa? One gentleman regularly purchases shoes at the Clothes Closet and sends them to Liberia. People who might have to go barefoot can now protect their feet. Another gentleman purchases clothes for an orphanage in Russia. Your donation may help someone local or on the other side of the earth.

Support Women’s Shelters

Women often walk into a shelter with no clothes except those on their backs. Volunteers for shelters often shop in the Clothes Closet so they can provide clothing to women seeking help at a shelter.

Support PRISM

The proceeds from the Clothes Closet help to support other programs at PRISM. In November, sales reached a high of $4,000. Just think about all the people who could be fed or transported to work with those donations.
