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.
