Give Hope to a Woman in Need!

Recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uneven and the unemployment rate for Black women remains more than double that of White men.

For many Bottomless Closet clients – 83% of whom identify as Black or Latina – will continue to struggle as they try to get back on their feet after the devastating losses of the last three years.

But there is reason for hope. More women are re-entering the workforce and at Bottomless Closet we are seeing an increase in demand for services at our new 34th Street location.

Your donation today will fund vital programs to help more women get back to work and reach their potential.
