Guilford Green Foundation: Trans Clothing Closet

The LGBTQ Center (part of the Guildford Green Foundation) is only a seven minute drive from campus: 1205 W Bessemer Ave, Ste. 226, Greensboro

 

Check Out Their Trans Clothing Closet


Less than a year after opening to the public, and the LGBTQ Center is already proving to be a valuable space where the community can access critical information and resources.
 
They're a library, a meeting space, and now -- a closet!
 
Their trans clothing closet is a collection of clothing, shoes, accessories, and select undergarments, such as binders, available free to members of the local area transgender community.

Anyone can "shop" here during open hours at the LGBTQ Center. They are especially interested in helping those who cannot afford new clothes or people who may be new to transition and uncomfortable in stores.

Right now their trans clothing closet is only a few racks. But their planned new downtown center location will offer new possibilities for expanding and partnering with other organizations.

In the future, they hope to offer programming, like clothing swaps, and have a rotation of seasonal collections based on community needs.
 
They'll need help from fashion-loving friends to keep the closet stocked. Call the LGBTQ Center if you are interested in making a donation.
