Where Can I Donate Used Women’s Clothing?

Typically we all make the trip to Good Will when making room in the closet for Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter attire… but where can you donate your used clothing to help fellow Philadelphians?

You can benefit three awesome local nonprofits in one swoop!

Career Wardobe (empowering women to transition to employment), Wash Cycle Laundry & Gearing Up (helping disadvantaged women learn to ride a bicycle for personal growth) are all partnering up to make a difference.  On Monday, July 23rd, they’ll collect gently used clothing to help empower local women.  Wash Cycle Laundry (which picks up your laundry by bicycle drop off & delivery) will pick up your donations between noon and 4 PM from participating homes and offices.

All three organizations promotes positive social changes and beneficial employment to our local community, so try to help them out! Wash Cycle Laundry will pick up bags labeled “Career Wardobe” to be sorted by purpose: whether for interviews, business attire or fashions.  Over 5,000 women were assisted by the Career Wardrobe last year alone.
