Dulles South Neighborhood Closet

Goal: $2,000.00

Specific Need

Dulles South Neighborhood Closet is seeking funds to prevent local clothing insecurity.

Mission

Helping Dulles South residents gain access to needed clothing through free community-wide clothing exchanges, an Emergency Clothing Closet, and other assistance. 

Profile

Founded in March 2020, the nonprofit Dulles South Neighborhood Closet has helped hundreds of low-income families in South Riding, Aldie, and Brambleton gain access to needed clothing. Dulles Closet’s free clothing events in 2023 served 1563 unique people from 349 households. Nearly 28,000 pounds of clothing was distributed. Our Emergency Clothing Closet also served an additional 121 people from 48 families and helped to restock 11 public schools’ clinics or clothing closets. We are 100% volunteer run. Your 2024 Give Choose donation will allow Dulles South Neighborhood Closet to continue to assist any neighbor who is unable to adequately clothe themselves or their family. More than 90% of our families are referred by the Dulles South Food Pantry, Loudoun County Public Schools, or a partner organization. We serve Afghan refugees, recent immigrants, people experiencing homelessness, foster children, single mothers, the working poor, and anyone else who needs clothing.
