Teen Closet Mission Statement:

“Helping boost the self esteem of teenagers in foster care and others in-need, by providing fashionable clothing and accessories of their choice.”

Teen Closet Motto:

“At Teen Closet it's their clothes, their style, their life, their choice.”

We are a group of of people who cares about foster kids and children in need. The idea for Teen Closet was born from a similar organization in Florida called Taylor's Closet.

Linda Rogers, Foster Parent Association President and KXLY4's Robyn Nance saw the television story about Taylor's Closet, and while meeting over coffee about other foster care topics, started talking about Spokane's need for its own "closet". From that conversation over coffee the ball started rolling, and it hasn't stopped. Some fantastic, energetic and caring people agreed to join our board.

TJ and Terry Tombari saw the need for Teen Closet and invited us to use their property to start out. KXLY4's Extreme Team turned an office building into a beautiful, trendy boutique for the wonderful kids who'll come visit it.  We grew quickly and left that spot for our new home in Spokane Valley.

Our clients are: in need, homeless or nearly homeless, or are foster kids.  Many of the foster children are taken away from their homes, their families, the only life they know. Many times this happens with no notice.  They may be allowed only the clothes or PJ's their wearing at the time.. sometimes not even that.

Teen Closet does not discriminate against any person on the basis of age, race, religion, gender or national origin.

TC is here to help teenaged boys and girls by providing them with some great clothes and products. We want to give them something to be happy about and make life a little easier for them.
