Our story

It started with neighbors. It became a promise.

One Foot Forward began with neighbors in Napa coming together to share clothing. At that very first gathering, we saw how many of our neighbors could use a hand. So we came back the next month, and the month after that. That is how the Community Closet was born.

Our name is our belief. No matter what you are facing, you can start over with one step in the right direction, and nobody should have to take that step alone.

Thank you for the opportunity you provided for me and the many other women. I felt motivated by the many volunteers. You really helped to make a difference. Please if you have another event, I would like to give back and volunteer.

Where we are headed

Our goals for 2027

We are not just trying to get bigger. We want to build something that lasts, so neighbors across Napa and Solano can count on us for years and the difference we make can be measured.

A bigger, permanent closet

A larger, permanent home for the Community Closet, so we can serve more neighbors, more often.

More of Solano County

Growing beyond our Vacaville pickup setup as funding and space come together.

Best Foot Forward, again and again

Turning our first career confidence day into a program women can count on.

Fewer barriers to work

New programs that help people get past what stands between them and a job, and grow along the way.

We are looking for grantmakers, corporate sponsors, monthly donors and long term partners to help us get there.
