CHEERS TO 25 YEARS!!
Granny's Closet is in its 25th year of helping seniors and adults with disabilities in Anoka and Sherburne counties!!! What started out as one person's personal mission to give to seniors in need at Christmas time has grown into what our fantastic program is today. We thank all of our supporters and volunteers for your continued generosity & kindness. Without you we would not be where we are today!
Thank you!
