You can donate business clothes for low-income women starting careers.
There are many organizations whose goal is to help low-income women enter the work force through training, networking and by supplying appropriate attire for the jobs for which they are applying. These organizations accept clothing donations that would be appropriate for women to wear to job interviews. While each organization can accept only certain types of clothing, they generally ask for career-oriented clothing that is still in very good condition. These clothes should instill confidence in their wearers and display professionalism to their potential employers.
Instructions
1. Determine what clothing your chosen donation center will accept. For example, the organization Dressed for Success will accept skirt and pant suits, blouses, professional blazers and jackets, new hosiery, purses, briefcases and professional shoes. These items are typical of what most donation centers will accept for career women. Most organizations need plus-size clothing, and all clothing should be new or nearly new.
2. Gather the clothes that you wish to donate.
3. Make sure that the clothes that you are donating are clean.
4. Place the clothes on hangers or fold them neatly and place them in a box if you are personally delivering the clothes. Many centers will not accept clothes delivered in plastic bags such as trash bags or shopping bags.
5. If you are mailing your donations, fold and package them neatly into a sturdy cardboard box.
6. Deliver or mail your donations.
