Working Wardrobes is well on their way to rebuilding after a devastating fire, recently opening a new Donation Center at 17392 Daimler Street in Irvine. 

“We are just thrilled to be up and running once again, processing clothing donations that will directly support our clients. And we are incredibly grateful for the support you’ve shown us on social media, over the phone, in email, and especially in person at our new Donation Center. This means so much to all of us,” shares Working Wardrobes CEO and Founder Jerri Rosen in a recent news release.

If you’re looking to help, or have items to be donated following a quarantine clean-out, Working Wardrobes is welcoming clothing donations on hangers. Due to COVID-19 risk, they cannot accept donations that are in trash bags. In order to protect their donors, volunteers, staff and clients, the new center is abiding by strict health and safety protocols. 

Donations go directly to supporting the men, women, young adults, veterans and seniors that depend on Working Wardrobes’ services. 

Looking to help beyond a donation? Companies and communities are encouraged to host a clothing drive. 

“Clothing drives are tremendously helpful in generating the inventory we need to wardrobe our clients,” confirms Rosen. 

The reopening of the Working Wardrobes Donation Center completes Phase 1 of their rebuilding plan. Phase 2 includes reopening their Career Success Center, and Phase 3 will see the reopening of their resale shops.
