UPDATE: MPI PHL CARES: Career Wardrobe Donations

Career Wardrobe is opening a brand-new store in Philadelphia!  The new store at 413 N 4th St. will be opening to customers & clothing donations on Tuesday September 15^th.

Each year Career Wardrobe helps our community reuse and recycle $2M worth of gently used professional clothing. 

In response to COVID-19, Career Wardrobe developed a new program: OutFIT For Work.

OutFIT for Work expands access to Career Wardrobe’s services by offering anyone who has lost their job or income during this crisis access to its full range of services, including receiving an outfit for work along with one-on-one professional development support to help them find a new job, no referral required.

Please consider donating new or gently-used items to help everyone in our community make a great first impression at their interviews or in life!

If you make a donation, take a picture and please let us know by tagging us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and use the hashtag #mpiphlcares.
