Lower Level - Crown Point Community Center, 6300 Pioneer Parkway, Johnston, Iowa 50131
Closed on Holidays ..... NEXT COLLECTION FIRST SATURDAY IN NOVEMBER -10 AM TO 1 PM AT CROWN POINT
The Closet at Crown Point currently serves 250 families and has seen an increase of 60 families since the school year began. Due to this increase, our children's clothing supply is severely limited and we are asking for your help. If you have any children's clothing that your family does not wear any longer or has outgrown, please bring it to The Closet on Saturday, November 7th from 10am - 1pm. We will also be accepting the following items in addition to children's fall and winter clothing: children's outerwear; new socks and underwear for toddlers and school-age children; new sundry items (baby, feminine, paper or laundry products and personal care items). This is our last regular collection until March 2010 so we hope to receive a good supply of children's clothing to get us through the winter months. We will not accept household items, toys, adult shoes, bedding and jewelry. We ask that you please find another organization in which to donate these items. Contact Shawna Beron at 515.868.1357 for more information or to volunteer!
Clothing and sundries items are available. We ask each family to pay $2 to help replenish the sundry shelves. Each family may take 5 items of clothing for each family member.Background: The Closet is in its second year of operation. Like others in the area, The Closet at Crown Point provides gently used clothing and sundry items for infants through adults. All items come from community donations. The Closet at Crown Point receives no governmental funding, although we are located at Crown Point, a community facility owned and operated by the City of Johnston. The Closet at Crown Point is a joint project of the Johnston Partnership for a Healthy Community and the Johnston Rotary. Staffing is entirely volunteers.

COMMUNITY COLLABORATION
A joint venture of The Johnston Partnership for a Healthy Community, Inc. and the Johnston Rotary.
The City of Johnston has supported this project and has allowed The Closet to use its space at Crown Point. The purpose of the The Closet is to provide a place for lower income individuals and families within our community to obtain much needed clothing, shoes, and sundry items (i.e. laundry detergent, paper products, toiletries). A fee of $2.00 for each family's visit to pick up items is used to purchase needed sundries. A family can volunteer hours at The Closet in lieu of the fee.
