The Giving Closet Project x Old Navy: Back-to-Scho The Giving Closet Project x Old Navy: Back-to-School Battle! 

This July, Old Navy stores across the region are joining forces with The Giving Closet Project to support students heading back to school — and they’re doing it with heart and a little friendly competition!

 What’s Happening?
Old Navy teams are taking the lead and hosting an internal Battle of the Stores to collect school uniforms, backpacks, and clothing donations for local students in need.

 It’s Store vs. Store — All for a Great Cause!
Each location is working hard to donate the most items and help us stock the Giving Closet shelves with essentials for the upcoming school year.

 Why It Matters:
Every donation supports students in our community by giving them the confidence and stability they need to succeed in the classroom — and beyond.
We are so grateful to the incredible teams at Old Navy for stepping up in such a big way.

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, school As we prepare for the upcoming school year, school uniforms are a huge need for the students we serve. Many of the Title I schools require uniforms, and for families experiencing clothing insecurity, this can be a major barrier to school attendance. When students lack the appropriate attire, it often results in missed days, lost confidence, and unnecessary hardship.

We would love for you to consider organizing a uniform drive to help us ensure every student can start the year off with dignity and readiness to learn. 

We are seeking brand new uniforms in youth, teen, and adult sizes for students in Pre-K through 12th grade:

Polo Shirts (youth XS-XL and adult S-2XL):
Colors: Black, Grey, Forest Green, Goldenrod Yellow, Red, Baby Blue, Navy Blue, Royal Blue, White

Flat Front Shorts/Pants (youth XS-XL and adult S-2XL)
Colors: Khaki, Navy, Black

Clothing insecurity is real—but it’s also solvable when communities like yours step up. With your help, we can remove the obstacles that prevent students from showing up and shining in the classroom.

Our team would love for you to share this information with your company, church, community partners or people in your network that have a passion for our underserved populations. Please be a part of our mission to empower and uplift our youth. 

Help us reach our goal of bringing in $200,000 in school uniforms. That is the average of what we distribute each year, and we need your help! @duvalschools @palmbeach_schools

A heartfelt thank you to Availity! Last month, ou A heartfelt thank you to Availity!

Last month, our Founder & CEO, Jennifer Finnegan, had the incredible honor of speaking at Availity’s Annual Summit. She shared the mission of The Giving Closet Project and her personal journey—and was met with such powerful energy and generosity from everyone in the room.

Together, the Availity team assembled 500 hygiene kits for local students in need—and went above and beyond by handwriting over 500 uplifting messages to include in each care package.

This was a first for us, and it was truly inspiring to witness so many people come together in such a meaningful way.

Of the 500 kits Availity purchased and assembled, over 100 have already been distributed to students across Northeast Florida—and we’re just getting started.

Availity’s support is making a tangible difference in the lives of children and families, and we are so deeply grateful.

Thank you, Availity, for standing with us. 💙 @availitypulse

🖤❤️💚 On Juneteenth, we honor freedom, eq 🖤❤️💚 On Juneteenth, we honor freedom, equity, and the power of collective action.

Today, we spent this important day in service—supporting the Chef Har’vey Foundation along with @restoreduval , @jaxsheriff ,Northwest Rotary Club, @jnj , and Northwestern Legends Elementary for a powerful food giveaway in the heart of the 32209 community.

Together, we provided nourishment, care, and connection to families who deserve to be supported and seen.

At The Giving Closet Project, we believe true liberation means meeting people where they are—with dignity, resources, and love. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of history, but a call to action for equity and compassion in the present.

Thank you to every volunteer, partner, and supporter who made today possible. Your commitment fuels real change.

We recently had the privilege of partnering with J We recently had the privilege of partnering with Jacksonville Housing Authority to prepare and deliver over 30 custom care packages for their summer camp youth ages 6–13! 🎁 Each package was thoughtfully packed with 3 outfits, a pair of shoes, socks, undergarments, and essential hygiene items — everything a child needs to feel confident and cared for.

We look forward to growing this partnership and continuing to make a difference together for the students and families we serve! 💙

School may be out for summer, but the need hasn’t taken a break. ☀️📦

We’re still filling referrals daily for students across Duval County—and our stock is running low, especially on youth clothing essentials. Right now, we’re in urgent need of in-style youth bottoms (boys & girls) and youth sneakers in sizes 1, 2 & 3.

If you’re cleaning out closets, shopping summer sales, or just looking for a way to give back—we’d be so grateful for your help. 🧦👖👟

Every donation goes directly to a student in need—because dignity, comfort, and confidence should never go out of season.

Every day brings something new—from helping a student find just the right uniform or sneakers, to jumping in and packing 30+ care packages at a moment’s notice—and they show up ready, smiling, and willing to do whatever it takes.

Their heart, hustle, and hunger to learn are exactly what makes our mission possible. We’re so grateful they chose to spend their summer with us! 💪📦👟 #InternSpotlight #UNFproud #GivingClosetProject #ServiceWithHeart #Thankful #SWOOP @unfospreys
💪✨ Volunteer Spotlight ✨💪 Today, our fri 💪✨ Volunteer Spotlight ✨💪
Today, our friends from VyStar Credit Union showed up big time to help us clean out one of our satellite closets at Frank H. Peterson. This space was severely water-damaged due to flooding, and every single item needed to be removed and laundered.

It was tough, dirty work—but these volunteers gloved up, smiled, and got the job DONE without a single complaint. 💛

We’re so grateful for volunteers like the VyStar team who help us tackle the unexpected challenges we face.

💬 As we work to rebuild and restock this closet, we’d love your support. Donations of new or gently used school clothing, socks, hygiene items—or financial gifts—will help us continue meeting the urgent needs of students in Duval County.

📦🧼👕 You can donate via the link in bio or message us to schedule a drop off donation. @vystarcreditunion
