Interested in organizing a drive on behalf of your
school, group, club, or company?
We appreciate your interest in wanting to help empower women.
By following these simple steps, you can help The Career Wardrobe assist thousands of women each year to successfully transition to work!
#1 Let Us Know!
Contact Heather Bennett before beginning your drive to receive proper paperwork and be placed on our schedule for donation delivery. (Phone: 216-568-6693)
Complete documentation and guidelines will be sent to you upon receipt of your paperwork.
#2 Choose your drive!
We have a type of drive suitable for every size group!
- Suited Up Drive: Donations of complete business skirt suits or pantsuits with matching blouses. We request that separates (pants, skirts, blazers, etc...) are donated at our monthly clothing drives.
- Separate to None Drive: Donations of trousers, skirts, blouses, blazers, "Casual Friday" outfits.
- Black and White Drive: Donations of black pants and/or skirts, and white tops/blouses.
- Finishing Touch Drive: Donations of shoes, stockings, handbags, jewelry and scarves.
- Basic Beauty Drive: Donate those trial samples you never use (shampoo, toiletries, makeup, skin and haircare products)
Don't forget the Empowerment part of your drive!
In addition to clothing, The Career Wardrobe relies on financial donations to outfit the women who need our assistance! All donations are tax deductible.
- Corporation Donations: Ask your company to match its employees' contributions with a corporate gift of $150 or more.
- Individual Donations: Have colleagues not donating clothing support the drive with a financial gift, collect spare change and donate it to The Career Wardrobe or auction off a premium parking spot in your company lot during the week of your drive!
#3 Designate a coordinator to oversee the donations and make sure they are within the guidelines
- This group or volunteer is invited and encouraged to come to The Career Wardrobe for a tour and to volunteer for an hour in order to understand the services and clothing we provide.
- Please contact Heather Bennett or MaryAnn Smalls (215-568-6693) to coordinate a volunteer schedule.
#4 Drop Off Your Donations!
