An estimated 85,000 articles of clothing for career seekers has been distributed free since 2017 by Neumann University’s Center for Leadership’s Wardrobes for Work.

Now it has its sights on a new goal for the holidays.

“With the colder winter months approaching, Wardrobes for Work has set an aggressive goal for ourselves of recirculating 25,000 articles of clothing to individuals in need by the end of the year,” said Danielle McNichol, General Counsel of Neumann University and director of the Neumann Center for Leadership.

To meet that goal, the organization is hoping to form new partnerships with non-profit and community organizations that aid individuals in need of gently-used work and dress attire.

Groups and organizations that serve individuals in need of work place clothing are encouraged to visit the Wardrobes for Work website here and complete the “Group Needs” Request Form.

Individuals can also schedule an appointment by emailing mcnichod@neumann.edu or by calling 610-358-4528.

Items are collected on Neumann University’s campus in Aston and through attire donation boxes hosted by dozens of local businesses, law firms, the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, and county and state government offices.

The donated clothing helps individuals with financial need find suitable clothing for job interviews, starting a new job or supplementing existing work and dress attire.

“We believe there are even more people out there who we can assist through this program, which is why we want to partner with more groups to ensure we are reaching as many individuals as possible,” McNichol said.

Individuals who wish to volunteer their time to sort and prepare donated items can contact Danielle McNichol at mcnichod@neumann.edu, or by calling 610-358-4528.
