Spring Cleaning with Meaning Clothing Drive
This message has been approved by Leslie Mille, interim director of The Career Center, for distribution to faculty and staff.
The FSU ProfessioNole Clothing Closet, coordinated by The Career Center, is holding the Spring Cleaning with Meaning Clothing Drive. The Closet provides a much-needed service to FSU students, providing them with business professional clothing for interviews, career fairs, internships, and more! The Closet is 100% supported by donations--either in-kind of donated clothing or monetary donations.
The drive will run from Feb. 13 - March 31. While we take donations year-round, this is our big push to get our racks stocked to help our students.
Last semester, we saw over 750 students in the ProfessioNole Clothing Closet seeking items to help them with their professional goals.
Items of greatest need include:
- Women's suits, blazers, dress slacks, skirts, dresses, blouses--biggest need in smaller sizes
- Men's suits, blazers, dress pants, and shirts--biggest need in smaller sizes
- Like-new dress shoes of any size
- Accessories like ties and belts
Clothing should be considered business professional to elevated business casual and in current fashion.
Clothing donations should be clean with clearly labeled sizes and not damaged.
No clothes to donate, but you still want to support the ProfessioNole Clothing Closet? We are accepting donations to our Foundation Account (F09092), which we use to purchase items for the Closet. You can also directly buy needed items from our Amazon Wishlist.
To donate, please contact Heather Lazar at heather.lazar@fsu.edu or 850.644.6493 to schedule a curbside drop off at The Career Center.
