"Before I came here I lost my job. I always found I was pretty confident, but having gone through that experience, it knocked me down pretty quickly."
"It felt warm walking in, and everyone was so kind. You put the hard work in, you do the time, and now you get the paycheck."
"This is a place where people can really give back in a meaningful way. By donating clothing, volunteering time, or simply showing up to support women. You can truly help lift someone up."
Bottomless Closet provides New York City women with clothing, styling, mock interviews, one-on-one coaching, and resources to reenter the workforce. The organization serves women facing homelessness, substance abuse recovery, incarceration, and job loss, offering practical tools and emotional support to rebuild confidence and professional identity. Executive Director Melissa Norden drew on personal experience with job loss to guide the mission. Clients report warm, kind environments and rapid employment outcomes after participation. The organization relies on clothing donations, volunteers, and community engagement to create a sisterhood that lifts women into sustainable employment and economic stability.
