Undergarment Collection Challenge for Dawn's Closet

During the month of February members of the Women’s Business Bridge and the St Croix Valley Girls organizations will be collecting items in a “Collection Challenge” for Dawn’s Closet. To announce the outcome of this challenge, a social hour “Collection Challenge Count –Off” has been set for Tuesday, February 21st, from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm, at the Rivertown Inn. The Inn is hosting the event and Stillwater Liquors will provide beverages for the Collection Challenge Participants.

Dawn’s Closet is a program of Stillwater’s Valley Outreach. The “Closet” provides “Free of Charge” clothing, accessories, and household essentials to men, women and children of all ages and sizes who are in need. These recipients must live in Washington County or surrounding border communities in eastern Ramsey County and western Wisconsin. Most often people donate gently used items to Dawn’s Closet. However, the Closet is short on brand-name new undergarments: underwear, bras, and socks for its clients. Last year the program distributed over 4,000 pieces of donated clothing.

For more networking and business development opportunities, check out Women’s Business Bridge (WBB) in the Stillwater, MN area or St Croix Valley Girls (SCVG) if you do business in the Hudson, WI area. Both organizations meet on a monthly basis, and they are on Facebook. The members of these organizations are also invited to a monthly after hours get-together, Women Who Wine (WWW).
