Opportunity Details
Fashion Sorting Party (age 15+)*Impact Week 2022*
The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
We support women with the various needs and resources they have while looking for work and finding employment. This includes: clothing, transportation, toiletries, job search support, and more!
At our Fashion Sorting Party, the goal is to process as many clothing donations as possible, in preparation to be given to clients. Come lend a hand by helping us:
- Sort clothing donations to appropriate channels
- Inspect clothing for quality
- Size clothing and shoes
Volunteers will be instructed on the clothing sorting guidelines and procedures upon arrival. Volunteers should be comfortable lifting or moving boxes, bags, or garments.
Please come in clothes that are easy to work in. Tasks may include bending and lifting. Closed-toed shoes are required.
Recommended for volunteers who have a love for organization and can tolerate a small space with many donations, but limited resources.
Volunteers can park in 2-hour parking curbside spaces or directly across the street in the Transition Project Motel, Banfield Motel parking lot.
