Meet Michelle Hood--a single mom, who graduated from Humboldt State University and started Redwood Women's Foundation. Michelle knows what it's like to feel anxious and unsure about the appropriateness of her existing professional wardrobe. She learned to mix and matched multiple items of clothing to broaden her spectrum. She sticks to solid colors and a handful of accessories.
Since Redwood Women's Foundation began, we have served over 300 women, offered 40+ events, and provided over 90 days of transitional housing. With your support and donations, motivated women like Michelle gain access to: beautiful, recycled, stylish work clothes, bags, accessories,and active-wear that is perfect for career and everyday social settings.
Our Community Closet offers quality new and recycled clothing that women feel comfortable and confident wearing. Purchasing and/or receiving used clothing online or at thrift stores is a sustainable practice and good for the environment. We've already received a ton of fabulous donations and look forward to serving the women in our community. Please fill out an application to donate or receive.
