Marsha’s Closet is a one-stop shop for gender-affirming clothing and products. Housed at the Transgender Center of the Rockies (3460 S Federal Blvd), we offer transgender and gender-expansive individuals access to the products they need to express themselves in an affirming, judgement-free environment, at no cost. We are here to help you live authentically, for free.

Our namesake, Marsha “Pay-it-no-mind” Johnson, was a black transgender woman who played an instrumental role in the queer liberation movement. As more and more individuals feel liberated to express themselves authentically, we honor those who paved the way, remembering them with love and gratitude.

DONATIONS - on pause as of 7/20/23

We are so grateful to be able to say Marsha's Closet is currently OVERFLOWING with donations! So much so that we are no longer accepting donations until further notice. Exceptions for binders, packers, breast forms, and unopened cosmetics.

Marsha’s Closet accepts donations of new and gently used clothing and products. Marsha’s Closet is NOT a thrift store. If you would like to donate, we ask that you follow these guidelines. Call before dropping off donations.

• Please no items with rips, stains, or holes, unless it's part of the style.
• We do not accept branded items from a gym, workplace, high school, summer camp, etc.
• Wash items before donating; they should be free of pet hair (do what you can), dirt, and smells
• Please keep your donation to 30 or fewer items per month. Review our "what we need" list before bringing items.

WHAT WE NEED

All clothing/shoe sizes are welcome, but please keep in mind the following needs when deciding what to donate. If something is not listed in the “what we need” list, it is either because we already have a lot of it, or that item often does not to meet the needs of the folks using the closet.

Binder Distribution Partnership with gc2b

The Transgender Center of the Rockies partners with trans-owned chest binder company, gc2b, to distribute free binders to members of the transgender and gender-expansive community. If you are interested in a binder from Marsha’s Closet, please check out this sizing guide before your visit. We will also help with sizing when you come into the office. Because gc2b donates binders to us, our selection of colors and styles is sometimes limited. To view gc2b’s full selection of binders and other products to purchase, visit their website.
