Open Doors’ community closet is a ‘free store’ where households in need can shop for seasonal clothing, shoes, and household necessities. Everything in the community closet is donated by our neighbors in order to provide quality wardrobes and goods for people dealing with poverty and homelessness.  Over the years, the donors and volunteers of the Rowayton Civic Association's Bundle Up Rowayton donation drive have provided thousands of essential items to help our neighbors stay safe and warm in the cold winter months.
