Spring cleaning time is here! This is a popular time to clean out your closet and refresh your wardrobe for warmer weather. Getting organized can help you feel less stressed and more productive, but it can also help others in our community.
Nonprofits across the valley collect gently used clothing to give to people in need. Have a dress that just doesn’t fit the way it used to? It could be the perfect outfit to help someone else nail their job interview.
Valley of the Sun United Way partners with several amazing nonprofits in need of clothing. Consider donating to these great organizations:
Dress for Success – This is the perfect place to take professional clothing, business dresses and shoes you no longer wear. Dress for Success will donate them to women who need business wear for job interviews.
