Business giveaway clothes Nov. 28
ASTON » Area residents in need of workplace suitable clothing — but who may face financial challenges — are encouraged to attend open house hosted by the Wardrobes for Work program at Neumann University from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28. Thousands of articles of gently used men’s and women’s business casual attire and business suits are available for free. The open house is held on the second floor of the Rocco A. Abessinio Building.
“Wardrobes for Work seeks to remove one of the barriers — purchasing work suitable clothing — that local residents may face when attending job interviews, reentering the workforce, starting a new job, or simply maintaining their existing work wardrobe,” said Danielle McNichol, general counsel of Neumann University and Director of the Neumann Center for Leadership.
In order to ensure that enough clothes are available in a variety of sizes, individuals are limited to three outfits during the open house. Over the past several months, dozens of local businesses and law firms, the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, and Delaware County government offices have helped collect thousands of articles of clothing by placing workplace attire donation boxes in their offices.
Neumann University is a stop on the SEPTA 114 Bus Route. To plan the trip via public transit, visit www.septa. org/m/maps/trip.html
Individuals who are unable to make the open house but are in need of workplace attire are encouraged to schedule an appointment; contact McNichol at mcnichod@ neumann.edu or 610358-4528.
For businesses that would like to host a collection box and individuals who would like to make a donation, visit neumannpublicsafety.com/donationprograms
