Today was pretty awesome guys! A couple of kind folks stopped by and helped sort clothing and hangers and we talked about volunteering in the future. Several people also helped take loads of clothing waste to dispose of as well. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have some helping hands around the Closet. It’s hard to ask for help but when you do, people sure show up!

As a little surprise treat, we’ll be open for a BONUS DAY tomorrow, Monday Oct 5th from 12-3. Some of you might recognize Heather who is a local volunteer and will be helping out tomorrow.

We are still not taking donations until we can get through the existing ones. There are plenty of new clothes up in the racks. Thanks to everyone who helped clear some clothing out today!

We are open today from 12-3! Reminder that we are not taking donations today. We are, however, accepting help with disposing off all the unusable donations that we have recently collected. If you have extra space for a bag (or 10), I’ll have of bags piled out in the hallway to take. If you’ve ever wanted to help out at Crystal’s but don’t have time or ability to volunteer, this is a super simple way you can make a big impact.

If you have been thinking about volunteering, please fill out our brand *NEW* ✨Volunteer Interest Form ✨ on our shiny brand *NEW* ✨website✨!

We’ll be open tomorrow, Sunday Oct 4th from 12-3pm. Free clothing for everyone!

I have an ask, do you have a dumpster? You can help us move through the bags and bags of textile waste by taking one (or a few) to toss in your dumpster and lightening our load. I’m looking into other ways to utilize/recycle/upcycle the discarded and damaged clothing in the future, but for the moment we just need to get some of it out of here. I’ll be piling some of the waste bags in the hallway tomorrow by the back entrance so it’s easy to grab.

We also have a new web site and if you have been interested in volunteering now you can fill out a volunteer interest form there! It’s linked on our socials.

See you tomorrow!

I am excited to share that Crystal's Closet Cushing now has a website. She's still in the early stages, but more will be added over time. One aspect of it that I love is that there is a section to fill out and submit a Volunteer Interest Form!

If you have recently contacted me about volunteering, I have just finished responding to everyone and sent the link to the form directly to you.

Questions? Let me know! Our website is also linked here on our page and should be updated on google maps in the near future.

We will be open this Sunday, October 4th from 12pm-3pm. NO DONATIONS. I am swamped with donations that have been left after hours so we will not be taking any donations in October. Thank you to everyone for your support around this. I will be sharing some ways you might even be able to help out with all the textile waste.

I also have been working behind the scenes getting some big things organized and I will be sharing about that this week.

Those of you that have contacted me or are interested in volunteering, I'll be getting back to you this week about that too!

I'm really excited to share, so stay tuned!

Heres a little preview of what is in store on Sunday!

Guys, we need to talk. I’ve been having issues this summer and fall with people leaving donations during our off hours. Not just some donations, a lot of donations. Like, a lot a lot.

There’s a couple of issues with this.

-Leaving donations during off hours is not allowed for many, many reasons.
-The donations being left behind are poor quality, 80% of it is dirty, stinks, unusable, or items we explicitly do not take.
-There are now *truckloads* of textile waste that need to be disposed of.
-Today, I reached my hand into a bag and pulled out a deeply soiled hospital gown and underwear. This can never happen again!
-it takes me HOURS to sort through these bags and prevents me from doing things that are productive and useful.

I have put signage all over the building letting visitors know that we do not accept donations after hours. At this point, I’m considering anything left after hours dumping. Crystal’s Closet is not a waste service and I have neither the time nor patience for this to continue.

Effective immediately:

-Donations are suspended through October. No exceptions.
-we will no longer be accepting garage sale leftovers or a full trunks or truckloads of clothing.
-Donations are limited to TWO kitchen sized trash bags per family. No exceptions.
-Oversized and overfilled bags will be refused. My back simply cannot handle it. No exceptions.
-NO boxes, it just creates garbage for me to dispose of and is hard on my body to carry.
-Any donations left after hours will be immediately disposed of. I won’t even look through the bags because I never want to touch what I touched today ever again.

Please, be mindful of what you are donating. Would you give it to a loved one? Are you just trying to get rid of stuff? Throwing away other people’s garbage is not sustainable for Crystal’s Closet.

Thank you to everyone who respects the processes that are put in place to make this a sustainable resource for all. We appreciate your donations and I love being able to offer clothing and a shopping experience that is totally free!❤️

These bags are grossly oversized and blocking access to the closet, men’s shoes, and ironically in front of 2 signs that say “Do not leave donations behind.”
