Giving Tuesday - November 30

Support Abby's Closet on GivingTuesday, November 30. This global day of generosity emphasizes opportunities to give back to communities and causes in safe ways that allow for social connection and kindness even while still practicing physical distancing. When so much attention is given to what divides us, generosity brings people together across races, faiths, and political views.

Stay tuned this month on our social platforms to learn more about GivingTuesday and Abby's Closet, how to participate in activities and have some fun, and opportunities to giveback.

Hangers, Hangers, Everywhere!

Thanks to a generous donation from JCPenney, we are replacing all of our hangers. This will eliminate the need to purchase hangers, will reduce storage issues, and make it possible for each dress to be left on a hanger when it leaves with a student at the giveaway event. However, with this transition, it means we have over 5,000 hangers that need new homes. Can you use 100, 200 or more plastic hangers?

Email info@abbyscloset.org and we'll find a time for you to pick them up. Let's reuse and recycle!

We need your help!

Abby's Closet has a few special volunteer opportunities available and hope our amazing volunteers and friends can help!

Empowerment Cards

We are currently seeking volunteers to create cards with positive messages to attach to the dresses. The students love finding these notes on each dress. We need thousands of cards with color and creativity. If you're interested in getting the details to help, please contact Lois at lois@abbyscloset.org.

Thank you!
