My Sister's Closet Has Closed
On July 31, 2008, My Sister's Closet, the YWCA's thrift store, closed its doors indefinitely as the building that previously housed the store was sold. We are still in need of some gently-used clothing, furniture, household goods and other items and we are accepting these on an as-needed basis. If you have gently-used items that you would like to donate to our programs, please contact us to make an appointment as storage space is limited.
For information or to donate new or gently-used items, please contact 619-239-0355, ext. 244.
Thank you for your support!
