Have you heard about Conejo Community Outreach's Community Closet?
Our Community Closet was officially launched in September 2016 as a free resource that provides basic necessities for local individuals and families in need. We stock in our Closet items such as gently used baby and toddler clothing, maternity wear, work attire, coats and jackets, and baby items such as bottles, blankets, diapers, wipes and beyond, thanks to the generous donations from our community.

The way the Closet generally works is that interested families or individuals who would like access to the Closet are asked to submit a simple screening form. With the information provided, board members then go to our storage units where our inventory is stored, put together personalized bags based on need, and arrange for pick-up.
This year, we've decided to implement a few OPEN CLOSET DAYS that will allow those in need the opportunity to come and browse all of our Closet inventory. We will be transferring our inventory to a private room hosted at Tang Soo Do University for these events, where pre-registered individuals and families can enter and spend time collecting some much needed items.
