Founded in 1995, The Wardrobe, formerly known as The Working Wardrobe and Career Wardrobe, is a nonprofit that has helped more than 90,000 people overcome barriers to employment, such as clothing insecurity. They offer clothes priced to match any budget, as well as free clothing for those who qualify.
Participants in Open Wardrobe Days receive one full outfit along with corresponding accessories. Size availability is based on donated inventory, so interested guests are encouraged to pre-register online.
