SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV — The newly expanded Rams Closet is now open. Located in Gardiner Hall, room 121, the Rams Closet offers free clothing, shoes, and accessories to all Shepherd students and employees and now features:
- A larger space for students and employees to shop for clothing
- A designated space for donation drop-off
- Access to Gardiner Hall, room 111A to try on clothes
The Rams Closet will operate on a self-service model and will be open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Temporarily, all clients are asked to take no more than three items per visit. As clients leave the closet, they are asked to anonymously fill out a form listing the number of items they take and indicating if they are students or employees. This information will help Rams Closet organizers better serve the campus community.
Pictured (l. to r.) are Paul Wilmoth, Pattie Wilmoth, and Danielle Stevenson in the new Rams Closet.
Those interested in donating items can email Danielle Stephenson. All donations must be from smoke-free environments and free from damage such as holes, tears, etc. The Rams Closet particularly needs the following items:
- Men’s casual shirts
- Men’s jeans and shorts
- Men’s shoes
- Plastic hangers with clips
A special thank you goes to Shepherd Alumni Pattie and Paul Wilmoth for their hard work and dedication to making the Rams Closet an inviting space for our campus community. We want to thank President Mary J.C. Hendrix for her continuous support of the Rams Closet and for assisting us with her time and resources.
If you have questions about the Rams Closet or would like to volunteer, please email Danielle.
