OUR HISTORY

The idea for Stitch Closet was born in September 2020 when students from PLUS Team and Student Service leadership became friends and recognized a need amongst their fellow students that was not being met; clothes.

Approximately 60% of university students encounter financial insecurity, and our Founders know how wearing an appealing and expressive outfit can affect self esteem. To combat this, they established clothing drives for WOU students. After further collaboration, the Stitch Closet received non-profit status less than one year later.

Recognizing the desire to wear an outfit that wouldn’t negatively single someone out, Stitch Closet implemented a policy of not accepting mass donations of torn or spoiled clothes. The clothes Stitch Closet carries are thoroughly inspected to ensure maximum quality and satisfaction to all WOU shoppers.
