Exciting news!!! You can now sign up to become an education & coaching volunteer at all Wardrobe locations. This amazing program is part of our merger with Wings for Success. https://lnkd.in/e3bpjY5W Education & coaching volunteers will regularly work one-on-one with our guests to guide them towards a path of stability and independence. Anyone interested should sign up for the education & coaching orientation on Tuesday, August 13th from 1pm-2pm. This training is over Zoom and will be offered the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month. This training includes information on how to conduct a 1:1 coaching session, our workshops, the people we serve, and volunteer expectations. *please note that this orientation occurs after our program & inventory orientation on the same day. You do not need to take both.

"Change yourself and everything around you will follow" is what one of the WesGold Fellows (VestedIn) told us after receiving their new clothes from The Wardrobe! The WesGold Fellows visited our Wardrobes in Philly and Upper Darby and got to shop for professional attire with the support of their peers and our trained stylists. We are so happy to be a part of their journeys - no matter what part. Everyone looked amazing and we wish them all the best!

Please send a vote (or 2!) our way!!! The Wardrobe has been nominated for Best Thrift Store and Best Non Profit as part of Metro Philly’s Best program. You can vote once a day until August 9th. Link to vote is on our homepage: www.WardrobePA.org Thank you for supporting us!!!

We are so thankful to those who donate their clothing, time, and resources to The Wardrobe! We would like to give a special thank you to the following groups for making a huge impact on the work that we do! Rivers Casino Philadelphia for donating over 75 brand new bags - 6 different styles and sizes! These bags will directly go to our guests at our 4 locations and are always the perfect addition to an outfit! Some of the bags also included toiletries, which are always requested by our guests! Stout for organizing a company clothing drive! They donated two huge racks of menswear and womenswear full of great professional attire. Pictured here are Heather and Ally who brought the clothes directly to us!!! Thank you so much for supporting our work!!!

Doesn't this group from Urban League of Philadelphia look amazing in their new outfits from our Wardrobe in Philadelphia? Tyjanae, Shai, Indeya, and Tariq each got to select head-to-toe outfits for upcoming professional development opportunities. Everyone said they loved their Wardrobe experience and appreciated our staff very much. We had a great time hosting them and wish them all the best!

Our Wardrobe in Kennett Square recently hosted an group from The Garage Community and Youth Center! This group is part of The Garage Career Compass Program for Youth, which provides a summer-long paid internship funded by The Garage. The Wardrobe helped the students find professional attire and scrubs to be worn in their internships. We know how important it is to have the support of your peers so we love being able to provide group shopping opportunities like these! Best of luck to the students and we're so glad to work with The Garage Community and Youth Center as a community partner!

Thank you for the feature The Foundation For Delaware County!!!!
