Open Heart Outreach

A note from Rick & Dee Dee:

We are a blended family of 7 and we have chosen to give back to our community by starting a family run "help" system. Our goal is to collect clothing from those who have extra and offer it to those who need help keeping their family clothed at no expense. We believe everyone is just one crisis away from needing help but we also know that sometimes even those who are employed, still have trouble providing basic needs. Among those whom we offer our support to are: families who receive State Assistance, qualify for free/reduced lunch and tuition, provide foster care, or families who are struggling just to pay bills. We accept donations of all clothing in great condition, launder it, store it and then open it up to any and all who need it! We have frequent Open Closet events where you come and shop for free. Please watch for volunteer opportunities and for dates and times of our Open Closet. Please also look at our partner outreach program "Open Totes"! This program collects new and gently used, bags/luggage/totes and backpacks and distributes them to foster children in the area. We believe that foster kids deserve the dignity that comes with transporting their belongings in suitable, respectable totes and NOT TRASH BAGS! We appreciate your desire to help your community!
