We have an outstanding group of girls that serve on our Staff. These girls do a variety of different jobs. Without their efforts we would not be able to run Taylor’s Closet. They were each chosen because they share in our vision to provide hope and love to girls in need. They have all become close friends to Lindsay and the family, and every girl has a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, our staff works regularly alongside our other volunteers in the store to minister to the girls that visit Taylor’s Closet.
