CBE is one of 21 congregations in the Reston/Herndon area who have committed to providing volunteers to staff The Closet.

Please join us on our next volunteer opportunity! Meet the new manager of The Closet of Greater Herndon and become familiar with the thrift shop's operations. This is a great way to work with other CBEers for a couple of hours and support this vital community resource. You can volunteer for a  2-hour block: 10 AM - 2 PM, 12-2 PM or 2-4 PM, or another time period that is more convenient. Tuesday store hours are 10 AM- 5 PM. Donate and shop as well! If you are a first-time volunteer, have questions, or if these days are not convenient, please contact Betsy Rock and Paula Yass. The Closet is at 845 Station St, Herndon, or 703-437-7652.
