Closed on Holidays ..... NEXT COLLECTION FIRST SATURDAY IN AUGUST -10 AM TO 1 PM AT CROWN POINT
The Closet now has new racks which were purchased with funds from the Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grant.
Background: The Closet is in its second year of operation. Like others in the area, The Closet at Crown Point provides free, 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.
Closet Executive Board and Volunteers accept check from Prairie Meadow.
Grant will be used to buy new racks, marketing items, shelving and a computer.
Johnston Partnership is always in need of volunteers and donations. If you would like more information about the Partnership and The Closet at Crown Point please call: Shawna Beron: 515.868.1357

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.
