HISTORY OF CLOSET CAse
What started out as a dream for We Are Family became a reality. It all began on Friday, Jan. 15th, 2016 when WAF hosted its first “Closet Case” Pop up thrift shop at Jericho, Inc.. Proceeds from the pop-up benefited WAF’s mission of providing life-saving and life-affirming programs for LGBTQ+ young people. The start of this social enterprise was the catalyst for raising funds to launch a permanent thrift store and center that serves LGBTQ+ youth. Thanks to the incredible generosity of its community, Closet Case Thrift Store has been at our location on Reynolds Ave. since January 2019!
