Madeline’s Closet
We are a charity that provides new clothing and household items to women free of charge. We are open to all women no matter their financial background.
Why we do it:
As women we tend to put others needs before ourselves. This program allows all women to access clothing and household items without guilt that they are taking away from their family. By running this program this helps reduce the number of items landing in landfills that are perfectly useable.
We have networked with over 20 stores to provide us with their damages and write offs. Our volunteers repair damaged items prior to putting them out. We save a portion of our donated jewelry and scarves for Christmas when we allow the children of our families to come and “shop” for their special person in their life. (There is no charge to the children) We help the children wrap their gifts. Items that are severely damaged are used to make patchwork blankets which are given to families who have lost their home’s due to fire.
To date over 500,000 individuals have accessed our program in our 15 years in operation.
Currently we are in Inwood
