Linda's Closet

Linda’s Closet is a living memorial to the late Linda Oliver, who was a career professional with the NH Department of Health and Human Services. She recognized a need in the region for women who were in her words, “trying to set goals for themselves”.  She envisioned providing clothing to women trying to enter the workforce and asked her family and friends to develop a free clothing resource using her own clothing.

For over twenty years, Linda’s Closet has been dedicated to keeping Linda's vision alive.  We are an all-volunteer non-profit organization providing free women's clothing to individuals in need, in and around the Monadnock region.  In some cases, clothing may be needed to enter the workforce, attend school, assist in times of crisis, or just to help make ends meet. All clothing is donated by members of our community. The population served ranges from teens to seniors and includes women from all walks of life. Since its beginning, Linda's Closet has evolved from a small mobile clothing service to the cozy permanent space in downtown Keene where we are today.

Monetary donations to Linda’s Closet help to defray costs associated with providing our warm and welcoming boutique-like space, where our volunteers greet and welcome clients and often provide them with career and fashion advice.  Linda’s Closet strives to offer an experience where women can feel supported by other women while doing something fun for themselves.  

Thank you for considering a donation to Linda’s Closet, which will allow us to continue to help women in our community reach their goals by providing this valuable service.
