ABOUT US
Dream Closet was founded in November 2013 by Kylen Feltes. At that time, Kylen was a junior attending Minnesota State University, Mankato. She realized the need for clothing and reached out to the YWCA for assistance in implementing her idea of a free shopping event. With the help of the YWCA, and many others, the first event was held in December of 2013, with great success.
​
Winona heard of this and jumped right in. What was initially intended to be a holiday event became realized as a seasonal need for the community of Winona. Dream Closet events are currently being held every Spring and Winter for the entire community of Winona to enjoy. The events are run solely on donations from the community. The Dream Closet team is passionate about providing confidence, compassion, and community.
