Help Refresh Machane Lev's Drag Closet - June 2025 - MNJCC dropoff

Machane Lev – North America’s only LGBTQ+ Jewish summer camp - is sprucing up its drag closet, and we need your help!

Through June, we’re accepting donations of gently used dresses, formal wear, and costumes, plus unopened makeup to help their campers shine.

We’re not able to accept: undergarments, socks, shoes, hats, wigs, bathing suits, sweats, t-shirts, or anything ripped or stained.

Drop-offs are welcome now through the end of June in the Miles Nadal JCC lobby. Thank you for helping keep the camp fierce and fabulous!
