career closet

    Our Career Closet provides free work-appropriate clothing to individuals seeking employment or starting a new job. We focus on industries common in our community – such as manufacturing & warehouse work, healthcare & care giving, food service & hospitality, construction work, mechanics, custodians – ensuring clients have the right attire to feel confident and prepared.

   Appointments are required to give each client personalized assistance, allowing time to browse, try on items, and find the right fit.

   Donations of professional and industry-specific workwear are always welcome, ensuring we can continue supporting job seekers in our community.
