Put Your Clothes to Work

Donate business appropriate clothing to help a job training graduate.

Going on a job interview is stressful, but not having something appropriate to wear should not hold anyone back. This is Goodwill’s belief and they work to solve the problem for their job training graduates every spring through the “Put Your Clothes to Work” drive.

We are helping in their efforts by asking our clients and the community to clean out their closets and bring in a few items they no longer wear to help someone in need.

Let’s face it, we all we all have clothes in our closet that are just sitting there – too big, too small, not our style anymore. So, clean out your closet and help someone get started on their career journey!

Last year’s Goodwill collected more than 15,000 pounds of clothing, which benefited over 500 people through the Clothing Collaborative for Job Trainees, a quarterly event where individuals put together a complete interview-appropriate outfit from the donated clothing.

When you donate to Goodwill, you support Goodwill’s mission to help people with barriers to employment find independence and dignity through work.
