It’s the last day of August, which means it’s time to celebrate our Community Partner of the Month: Revity3!

This month, the Revity3 team hosted a school supply drive to help stock our Community Closet with essentials for children heading back to school. 🎒✏️📓

For families working hard to make ends meet, the cost of notebooks, backpacks, pencils, and all the other supplies on a school list can add up quickly. Having these items available at the Closet means parents have one less expense to worry about and children can walk into the classroom with the supplies they need to learn and feel prepared.

Thank you, Revity3, for seeing a need in our community and stepping up to help!

🎒 Back to school is here! 📚

As kids head back to school this week, we’re so happy to share that our Open Doors kids had a special Back-to-School Party last week! They were able to pick out the school supplies and essentials they needed to start the new school year feeling ready and confident. 💚🧡

And thanks to the incredible generosity of the Revity 3 members and everyone who participated in their school supply drive, our Community Closet was stocked with even more supplies for our families!

A new school year brings new opportunities, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make sure our kids could start theirs feeling prepared and supported.

Thank you, Revity, for showing up for our community! 💚🧡

👕 Today is National Secondhand Wardrobe Day!

And we thought it was the perfect day to introduce you to a part of Open Doors you may not know much about: our Community Closet.

What exactly is a Community Closet?
What can you donate?
What shouldn’t you donate?
And how can a donated shirt, pair of shoes, or household item make a difference for someone in our community?

Swipe through → We’re answering all of those questions and sharing a little more about the people and purpose behind the Closet.

Because secondhand isn't just about giving something a second life. It can help give someone more choices, dignity, and room in their budget for the things they need most. 🧡💚

We loved being part of Norwalk Night Out! 💚🧡

Community events like this give us an important opportunity to connect with our neighbors, listen to what they need, and make sure people know that Open Doors is here for them.

From employment and financial resources to food, housing stability, and other support, we offer a variety of programs designed to help individuals and families build greater stability and move forward.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that comes together, supports one another, and makes space for connection. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and took the time to learn more about Open Doors!

If you or someone you know could use support, we’re here. 🧡💚
