revolving closet -- what's that??
Kids grow soooo fast! A Revolving Closet is a place to bring the clothes they've outgrown (that are still in good repair) and trade them for the next size up! Hosted by volunteers who donate a spare bedroom in their home, Revolving Closets need to be in every zip code!
Right now there are SIX active locations with a few more getting set up!
1. West Valley City, Utah. See the Facebook page! Regan Barnes runs this closet, and really enjoys the opportunities it opens up to her to make new friends, people she might otherwise never have the chance to meet. Set an appointment: calendly.com/momivate/revolving-closet
2. St. George, Utah. Celestial Noot -- Check out her Facebook page!
3. Payson, Utah -- Brianna Call has a Revolving Closet as well -- here's her Facebook page!
4. Springville, Utah -- Elizabeth Delano has her Revolving Closet set up! -- here's her Facebook page!
5. Spanish Fork, Utah -- Kelsey Britt runs this out of her basement! here's her Facebook page!
6. Fort Collins, Colorado -- Alana Hutchins has made Revolving Closets a national thing by expanding the concept to Colorado!! Ask to join her private Facebook group!

As you can see, there are bins for every size of children's clothing, separated according to gender and season. We also have shoes, maternity clothes, diapers, books, and coats!
We only accept clothing that is hole-free, stain-free, and free of smoke smell. Often we have families donate more than they take, so we are able to help families that can only take but have nothing to donate. For instance, we have helped a few refugee families, as well as a family that lost everything due to a house fire, and also a family that escaped a domestic abuse situation with only the clothes on their backs. The Revolving Closet is not limited to low-income families so our services are also used by smart moms who know that if they trade with us, they can have funds available for other things!! |
