Why is our work important. We believe all people deserve to have the basic needs

The Kindness Closet works to reach the underserved people in our community. We believe all people deserve to have the basic needs met regardless of social identity or status in life. We work to ensure that these needs are met to the best of our ability. Everyone deserves to feel worthy of human connection, and our work creates and promotes these connections which can change lives.

Where. It all happens here, in our town of Salem, oregon

The Kindness Closet operates throughout the community. We do not have a dedicated physical site as most of our work is done through outreach in camps, but we host the community shower truck at Grace Community Church on Tuesdays from 11am-3pm
