| Clean out your closets and help aspiring women and men who are re-entering the workforce to look their best at West Sound Workforce’s “Power of Change: A fashion event!” professional clothing drive on Tues., May 15. The event will run from 4-6 p.m. at West Sound Workforce’s Poulsbo office location at 18819 Third Ave, Ste. 110, and apparel donations will benefit the YWCA of Kitsap County’s professional clothing closet project.
“Clothing donations will help promote the economic independence of local area disadvantaged women and men, by providing professional attire for those re-entering the workforce to wear to their interviews and during their first weeks on the job,” said Julie Tappero, West Sound Workforce president.
West Sound Workforce is asking for the following donations: interview-ready clothing less than five years old, business suits of all sizes, especially in sizes 16 plus, tailored separates, handbags, briefcases, umbrellas, coats, blouses, tops, skirts, conservative accessories, quality footwear, and unopened pantyhose and makeup.
West Sound Workforce will provide hors d’oeurves and beverages for those dropping off their apparel donations. New summer fashions will be on display also from local Poulsbo and Kitsap County area retailers.
For more information on this upcoming charity event benefiting the clothing closet of the YWCA of Kitsap County, contact Heidi Miles at (360) 394-1882 or visit the website: www.westsoundworkforce.com. |
