Sacramento-area high school girls can get a fresh start to the school year with free, gently used clothes and essentials thanks to Sac Girls Closet. The organization is hosting its annual back-to-school pop-up shop on Monday, September 1, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Swanston Community Center in Sacramento.
This special event lets high schoolers browse a wide selection of school-appropriate clothing, accessories, and hygiene products, all at no cost. Volunteer stylists will be on hand to help students find the perfect outfits, making it a fun and stress-free shopping experience.
