The Wardrobe works to alleviate the clothing crisis for all Philadelphians, and this month the company is focusing its efforts on helping veterans in need.
Whether it’s everyday clothes, professional attire for a job interview, or work clothes for a new job, The Wardrobe is offering veterans free clothing, educational programs and resources at five Philadelphia-area locations on Thursday, August 29, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Wardrobe supports approximately 10,000 people each year with the clothing and tools they need to become independent and stable. In addition, the company offers educational programs, one-on-one coaching and workshops to help people succeed in their careers.
For those who can’t come in person, The Wardrobe offers the Wardrobe Box both as a seasonal subscription box (similar to Stitch Fix) for shoppers and as a personally and free styled box for participants. Subscription boxes contain four pre-owned and fashionable pieces selected just for you by expert stylists, delivered to your door quarterly. For every Wardrobe Box sold, The Wardrobe sends a free wardrobe box to someone in need.
Veterans can receive free clothing on August 29 at the following Wardrobe locations: 413 N. 4th St. (Philadelphia); 62 W. Marshall Rd. (Upper Darby); Keystone First Wellness Center, 1929 West 9th St. (Chester); 345 Scarlett Road (Kennett Square); and at Exton Square Mall (2nd floor near Boscov’s). All participants must register at wardrobepa.org/open-wardrobe.
