The Home Town Hero Award was a great gift to The Blessings Closet. It allowed us to purchase bins to use for clothing, clothing racks, hangers, and storage.

I’m a birdwatcher! I loved seeing the pictures of the beautiful birds at Shepherdstown Middle School. We were invited to the school as a resource for free clothing. It was a great day, and a wonderful opportunity to meet community members and see the artwork of local students.
Not In My House. The Shepherdstown Middle School Cardinal mascot is beloved. I loved this photo in the cafeteria. It took me back to the days of roaming the halls of junior high school while heading to class or getting something out of my locker at Shepherdstown Middle School. Great memories.
The Blessings Closet, in pictures, shows various community events we host and some of our volunteers. Our events include free clothing giveaways, free food baskets, backpack and school supplies for the community and more.
We also give away free turkeys for Thanksgiving and a full Christmas dinner for community members in need.
Each year, community members donate turkeys, vegetables, and other ingredients to make Christmas dinner. We also provide treats for the children for Christmas Eve.
Additionally, we partner with the Shepherdstown Fire Department, where we host a free book bag giveaway. We provide community members with free book bags for high school, middle school, and elementary school children. We also provide free school supplies.
Furthermore, we provide young ladies from our local high school with free prom dresses and free homecoming dresses. The free prom and homecoming dresses are donated by local mothers, students, and boutiques.
Our free dresses are at our physical location at 324 W Stephen Street.
