The Closet will be closing at 5:00pm on New Year’s Eve, Thursday December 31st. The Closet will be closed on New Year’s Day, Friday January 1st 2021, and will reopen normal hours on Saturday January 2nd 2021. Happy New Year from the staff and volunteers of The Closet.
Donation Times
Beginning December 17th, The Closet will not be accepting donations on Thursdays. We apologize for any inconvenience this may create, but this one day per week without donations is necessary to allow time for our staff to fully process the donations received up to that point in the week and to prepare for the large number of donations normally received on Fridays and Saturdays. We appreciate your understanding and we thank you for your continued support as donors to, and shoppers at, The Closet.
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.
