Every student deserves to feel
confident walking into school.

A free clothing marketplace and exchange built by students, for students. Proudly serving Bay Area students since 2024.

How it works

Three simple steps, all part of the app. The whole loop runs on campus, so there is nothing to ship and nothing to pay.

List what you are not wearing

Photograph the front, the back, and the label, and add a few details about its condition. Your listing goes live to students at your school, and both identities stay confidential.
Claim what you need

Browse everything available in your school’s catalog and claim up to three items per week. It is held for you at no cost. You can earn Buttons for keeping good pieces in circulation.
Pick it up at the booth

We message you the booth date and location for your school, then remind you by SMS or push on the day. Walk up, show your claim, and take it home.

I watched a close friend dread walking into school every day because of what he had to wear, and no student should have to carry that. We started The Community Closet so every student can get clothes they feel good in, for free, without anyone else having to know.

Founder
My vision is to make school equal ground for everyone. There should be equality not just in education, but in how we treat each other, in the pride we take in ourselves, and in having warm clothes to wear.
