Weather permitting, The Closet has special sidewalk events most Saturdays during the spring, summer, and fall. At these events you may find specific categories of items highlighted, you may see sales on certain items, or you may find items which are difficult to display on our floor. So far we have had a very successful sales event for vintage and collectible dolls, a sale on a huge selection of games for the whole family, and a tremendous variety of artwork.
Saturday May 15th will be Sidewalk Sale of Doll House Furniture priced at 25% off our already low prices! Shop and find just what you need to furnish that special doll house.
Donation Times
Current donation hours are 8 am – 12 pm (noon) Mon – Wed and Fri – Sat.

Welcome to The Closet
The Closet Of The Greater Herndon Area Incorporated is a nonprofit thrift shop in the heart of historic downtown Herndon, Virginia.
The Closet was founded in 1974 by a handful of churches to assist low-income families by selling used clothing at nominal prices. Over the years, our mission has expanded and we have become a significant resource for the greater Herndon area.
We continue to be a source of low-cost clothing and household necessities for families and individuals on a tight budget. The Closet sells a wide variety of donated items, including men’s, women’s, and children’s clothes and shoes; housewares such as dishes, kitchenware and linens; electronics; sporting goods; books, videos, CDs and record albums; artwork and frames; toys; and knickknacks.
We also give away clothing at no cost to truly needy individuals, and we use our profits to support worthwhile community programs.
Items we are unable to sell are donated to needy communities in the western part of the state.
Collectors and antiques buffs like to check The Closet’s shelves for unusual books, plates and collectibles. Bargain hunters often find brand-new or never-used merchandise at a fraction of the retail price. On shopping days, eager shoppers often begin lining up outside before the store opens.
The Closet is now using SignUpGenius for scheduling volunteers for specific times and jobs. Please go to SignUpGenius for The Closet to see when and how you can best provide service to The Closet. If have not volunteered previously, you will be asked to complete a short volunteer application on your first time. Thanks for supporting The Closet.
