| Anney's Closet | Anney’s Closet is a “free store” for women who are transitioning to a new, usually independent living situation. Anney's Closet "shoppers" are often fleeing violence, domestic abuse or other unsafe living situations, or aging out of foster care. Women in need of assistance in outfitting their new homes are referred to us from advocates at our partner agencies, social workers, youth and family counsellors, and school counsellors who watch over girls in foster care, girls pregnant or parenting at a young age, or women living in a recovery or transition house. Using household items donated by downsizing seniors, friends of Soroptimists, and other kind-hearted folks in our community, shoppers are able to shop for free for the household items they need to transform their living space into a functional and comfortable home. Goods are acquired by donation from the community and are carefully curated and displayed in a shop-like setting. |
