Community Closet

Providing Essentials for a Fresh Start

The Legacy Reentry Foundation’s Community Closet is a vital resource for justice-impacted citizens and their families.

 

We offer access to clothing, household items, and essential goods to help individuals transition smoothly back into the community with dignity and confidence.​

How the Community Closet Works

The Community Closet is open to anyone in need, offering:

  • Clothing for Every Occasion: From professional attire for job interviews to casual wear for everyday use, we provide a wide range of sizes and styles.
     

  • Household Essentials: Access items such as bedding, kitchenware, and toiletries to help create a stable and welcoming home environment.
     

  • Seasonal and Weather-Specific Items: Stay prepared with coats, gloves, and other essentials during colder months.

 

The Community Closet is open Thursday and Friday from 11am - 2pm.

 

If you or someone you know could benefit from our resources, please contact us to schedule a visit.

Over 4,000 Donations!

Since the re-opening of our closet, we've been overjoyed with the amounts of donations received. Local community leaders, sororities, fraternities, independent business owners, politicians and members of the community have donated multiple pieces of clothing. 

Why the Community Closet Matters

The transition from incarceration to community life can come with financial and emotional challenges.

 

By offering free access to essential items, the Community Closet helps individuals:

  • Feel Confident: Proper clothing and essentials can boost self-esteem, particularly during job searches and professional interactions.
     

  • Reduce Financial Burden: Alleviate the cost of purchasing basic items, allowing families to allocate resources toward other priorities.
     

  • Ease Reentry Stress: Provide immediate, tangible support that contributes to a smoother transition.
