About
Here at Fresh… Out the Closet, our mission is to bring the queer community together, one smooth cup o’ joe and one outfit at a time! Part of that mission is providing a space that is accessible for queer people in a creative, age and disability inclusive space. The next part of our mission, as part of our 5-year plan, is to dip into the non-profit pond and provide services for vulnerable queer populations, such as queer people of color, homeless youth and trans folks. The services would be in the form of donations, fundraising and offering resources such as jobs/job trainings, gender affirming clothing for people who can’t access it, and shelter placement. We also aim to promote queer creativity by providing a space for queer artists to display and sell their art.
In order to become a core part of the Philadelphia gay scene, we plan on immersing ourselves in the community as much as possible, by collaborating with local artists, other cafe spaces, and donating to Philly-based social justice organizations.
This company is being run by a group of people with a diverse mix of identities, who are all aware and conscious of the various needs of the community. We decided that this setup would be ideal for upholding the promise of accessibility. To further uphold that mission, we have a suggestion table and an open-door policy to foster trust and to better adapt our needs to continue serving the population! Fresh… Out the Closet is the place for queer people of all ages to grab a cup of coffee, catch a deal on a vintage shirt, and come together for a greater cause!
