The Closet, which continues to be sponsored by St. Francis Xavier Cabrini Parish, is located at 316 Bay Street in the city, about 20 miles from St. Catherine's. Paul and Bea Robinson are the executive directors, Dottie Bloss and Diane Muscarola the co-managers. Many volunteers work at the Closet sorting clothing, and where ever needed. Our parish provides about half of the 40,000+ items of clothing, linens and house wares to more than 3800 families and individuals each year. Most of these families and individuals are referred to Matthew's Closet by over 120 local social service agencies, health organizations and religious groups. These clients receive their items at no charge.
