The perfect accent to every ensemble… a handbag! As every volunteer knows, nothing can transform the look of an outfit quite like the perfect handbag. Those little beauties fly off our shelves faster than we can restock and once again we find ourselves in desperate need of work appropriate handbags for our clients. We would be truly grateful if you could dig through your closets (or ask your friends and families) for any purses or handbags that aren’t getting the love they deserve! All donations are tax deductable.

Reminder: Bottomless Closet Holiday Schedule Bottomless Closet will be closed on the following days during the holiday season. If you would like to volunteer on some additional days in the weeks leading up to the end of the year, please let Jessica Land know. Thursday, November 24 Monday, December 26 – Thursday, December 29

Even more clients! Once again, we are experiencing an increase in clients served. Bottomless Closet volunteers have seen 7.5% more clients this year than last. We could not have achieved this feat without the hard work of those of who give your time (during the day and in the evening). As the slots fill up and our scheduling becomes more challenging, please remember to sign up for your volunteer shifts so we can accommodate as many clients as need our services.

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities Evening Workshop Support, 5:45 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. During our evening workshops, we are in need of volunteers to handle some light administrative tasks and close up shop at the end of the night.
