About Us
Through united interfaith and community efforts, the Dulles South Neighborhood Closet assists those in need in Dulles South and the surrounding area with clothing and other non-food essentials and promotes reuse at all income levels by organizing community-wide exchanges and operating a neighborhood closet for urgent needs.
The Dulles South Neighborhood Closet was created in 2019 after many of the faith organizations that support the Dulles South Food Pantry worked together to meet the community's need for non-food necessities. We are 100% volunteer run.
Our Values:
- Strengthen community and accomplish more by working together
- Maintain neutrality in faith and politics to better serve the entire community
- Protect the privacy and dignity of those we serve
- Connect those who want to give with those who are in need
- Create youth volunteer opportunity
- Promote the reuse of clothing and household items in good condition
- Minimize overhead by hosting "pop up" events and limiting storage
- Support self-sufficiency
