Donations of work wear
You can make a difference to a woman's life.
Simply arrange a clothing drive within your organisation. We will ensure every interview-appropriate suit, blouse, top, shoes and handbag or accessories donated to Working Wardrobe goes directly to the Suiting Program
If you're interested in hosting a clothing drive, contact Working Wardrobe who will be happy to advise you or just follow the simple steps below:
STEP 1:
Target a specific time, for example, an event or a three-day period, during which employees can bring their donations to work.Try to avoid times of the year where employees are more likely to be on holiday or busy with other things such as summer holidays, Christmas etc. Then contact Working Wardrobe to book a coordinator to help with the clothing drive.
STEP 2:
At least one month before the clothing drive inform your employees about Working Wardrobe and its mission, perhaps by sending them the link to this website.
Encourage them to clean out their wardrobes and collect
unwanted garments. Men can also become involved by telling
partners and female friends and relatives. Then publicise the
clothing drive by sending an email, putting an article in your
internal newsletter, or using posters and flyers. All donations need
to be clean and in a ready to wear condition.
STEP 3:
During the week of the clothing drive arrange to have an empty coat rack to collect clothing donations and a box to collect accessories.
STEP 4:
On completion of the clothing drive Working Wardrobe will arrange to transport the donated garments to our office.
