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! Note: We're also seeing some Revolving Bookshelves start up! Like a low-stress library, no fees or due dates -- just keep reading free and pass along books to friends and neighbors!
Here are the active locations that we know of -- let us know if you set one up and would like to be listed here!

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!! |
