Reminder: Clean out your closet, Donate to Ready for Work clothing drive in Morgantown Oct. 14-25
No one should miss out on a job opportunity because they don’t have the right professional attire, yet unfortunately, that’s the case for many West Virginians according to WV Forward research.
Ahead of national Make a Difference Day on Oct. 26, WVU students, faculty, staff and community members are encouraged to clean out their closets and donate the in-demand items below to the Ready for Work Clothing Drive from Oct. 14-25 at one of the drop-off locations in Morgantown.
The VISTA Collaborative at WVU's Center for Service and Learning is partnering with WV Women Moving Forward to host the clothing drive to help connect local non-profits with in-demand professional items to help West Virginians secure a job or stay at work. Donations will be offered to Christian Help, Starting Points Family Resource Center and United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties.
The most needed items include:
• Professional winter clothing
• Maternity clothing
• Black pants, sizes 0-2, 16+
• White button-down shirts and professional tops, sizes XL+
• Solid color scrubs, all sizes
• Non-slip shoes, sizes 9+
Please only donate lightly loved women’s items purchased within the past 3-5 years with no stains, holes or tears.
Share this flyer in your college, unit or organization and help spread the word.
