The new space recently became available at the YWCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Pathstone recently moved out and it is double the size, Dr. Branch is our landlord, and we worked with them to get the additional space so we could expand,&#8221; says Jamie Beedham-Rada, Executive Director of the YWCA of Genesee County. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move for My Sister&#8217;s Closet took about a month. Jagged Edges Salon assisted with donations to support the move of My Sister&#8217;s Closet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;They are why we were able to do this renovation and make it a nicer closet for the community.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ywcagenesee.org\/\">Home &#8211; YWCA Genesee<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the YWCA description, the primary mission of My Sister\u2019s Closet Boutique is to provide affordable clothing to women and families in the community. There are outfits for women who are entering or re-entering the job market available, and the shop is open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proceeds assist the YWCA Domestic Violence Crisis and Prevention Services Program. The Closet also provides domestic violence clients with clothing when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\"
