Vision
🌟 Vision Statement
We envision a community where healing is woven into the fabric of everyday life—and no one walks alone.
We dream of a Columbia where survivors are met with dignity, not judgment. Where clothing is more than fabric—it’s a form of care.
When our vision is fully realized:
• Survivors find safety, choice, and empowerment in our space
• Neighbors give and receive without shame
• Donations fuel direct aid, advocacy, and transformation
• Our store becomes a sanctuary We believe in beauty from brokenness. In transparency as trust. In community as cure. The Cause Closet is not just a store. It’s a movement—rooted in love, led by purpose, and built for healing.
