History

In the 1950s, several women from the Junior League of Minneapolis ways and means committee wanted to raise $5,000 for cerebral palsy. They liked the idea of repurposing items and clothing. Thus, The Clothes Line was born.

The JLM ran the store with a few paid staff but mostly volunteers for 50 years. It was a community service project for the League as well as a fundraiser. The store helped families in need if they needed emergency assistance due to a fire, helped to clothe men getting out of prison, helped refugee families, held toy sales over the holidays, helped women dress for success and invited people we served through various projects to shop with vouchers.

The Clothes Line raised more than $3.5 million as a fundraiser while also serving the people in our community.

In honor of the 100th Anniversary, we are bringing The Clothes Line back with a pop-up weekend sale. Proceeds will directly benefit past and current Junior League of Minneapolis projects.
