Charlotte’s Closet to feature free, new, used clothing just for girls

— from Dawn Parnell for Charlotte’s Closet —

“When you look good you feel good,” stated Dawn Parnell, who is behind the Charlotte’s Closet Retail store just for girls. That one special item can make all the difference in boosting one’s self esteem. Sometimes it’s hard to get off island, cute clothing and accessories can be expensive, and finding something that fits online is hard compared to touching, feeling and trying it on.

“We have been shopping sales and retail outlets for Brand name items including tops, bottoms, pajamas, underwear, socks, accessories, bedding, purses and shoes.” With a lot of community members help we have set up a really cute boutique, girls only store” stated Parnell.

Girls can be referred by teachers, counselors, caseworkers, Safe San Juan, or community members to come and shop for a special outfit or two or for a needed accessory. A wide array of toiletries will be included.

There will be a grand opening for interested community members on Thursday, August 29 From 4:00-5:30. Please join us for refreshments. The store is located upstairs in the rear of the brick building on the Orcas Christian School campus. A visit to Charlotte’s Closet is totally confidential and is open by appointment only. Please contact Dawn at 360 317-4026 to schedule your special shopping adventure. Donations can be dropped off at the Orcas Christian School.
