Giving Tuesday 2023 Letter to the Community

Dear Friends,

We have a very urgent need this Giving Tuesday.

In thirteen short months, My Sister’s Closet of Monroe County may be forced to close our doors, and the critical services we provide will end.

On December 31, 2024, our current lease will end due to the proposed expansion of the Monroe Convention Center. This will displace My Sister’s Closet (MSC).

*** We currently do NOT have enough money to relocate. ***

We need to raise at least $750,000 to secure a space large enough for client programming and a resale boutique to help fund our mission.

For the past 25 years, MSC’s team of advocates and mentors have provided vital, encompassing services to the most vulnerable in our community. Since 1998, thousands have used these unique personalized services to transform their lives from homelessness, domestic violence, and extreme poverty to financial self-sufficiency.

After the devastating burglary in October, several former clients stopped by to express their support. One very emotionally stated, “My Sister’s Closet made an enormous difference in getting me a stable job and changing my life. If this place closes, it’ll be a big loss to everyone, especially women like me.”

Please help by making a one-time gift or starting a monthly donation, via the link below, to keep our life-changing services available to all the courageous, remarkable women who need them.

To donate: https://sisterscloset.org/donate/

Warmest thanks for all the support you have given My Sister’s Closet and the women we serve. Without you, none of the work we do would be possible.
