SORT: Organize Clothing Closet Storage
ORGANIZATION: Sharia?s Closet
Please visit the new page to apply.
Sharia's Closet provides emergency clothing to victims of sex trafficking, domestic violence, and unsheltered individuals at no cost. Their organization has (thankfully) received an outpouring of clothing donations but they have not been able to keep up with the amount.
Volunteers are needed to help them sort, organize, and fold clothing at their off-site storage container. The clothing will need to be reviewed for quality and sorted by type, gender, age, and color to make it ready for their clothing closet.
