Become a Volunteer Today!

We could not serve the number of families we serve without dedicated volunteers. We need around 35 volunteers a week serving 3-4 hours each to make The Closet run smoothly. We need additional volunteers to help with things like planning events, helping with fundraising, applying for grants and so much more. In addition we need volunteers to sit as members on our committees and board.
