We have received an amazing amount of donations in the last two months. Have a specific need? Searching for a new look? Curious about the Closet? Come check us out on Tuesday, March 4 and 18 from 11a-1p, or by appointment. Take all that you want and/or need. It is all free.
Did you see us in the news? We made the front page of the February edition of the Franklin Town News. You can view/download the paper here. Thank you for making this “experiment in generosity” such a grand success.

We will be sorting donations on March 11 and 25 from 11a-1p. We’re also looking for volunteers to help host on days when the Closet is open for shopping. Click the button below to view the Community Closet volunteer calendar. Click the date to register. You can even subscribe to the calendar so that you never miss an opportunity to serve. New dates and opportunities are added regularly.
As we approach our one year anniversary, we are looking to expand our open hours and build relationships with an expanded number of volunteers, organizations, and businesses. If your organization or business would like to bring a group to help sort donations, you have an idea for how to strengthen the program, and/or can offer a specific expertise, reach out to Pastor Jacob.
