Clean Out Your Closets for TWO Causes

IFMA San Diego's Community Service Committee is collecting business attire for SDYS's TAY Academy for the young people going on interviews and used textiles for recycling to earn funds for SDYS

 

Clean out your closet ... Gentlemen, that suit or sports coat, ties.  Ladies, the dress that you no longer like will help a young person "dress for success" at their next interview. Dress shoes, belts, purses and appropriate jewelry can also be used. All sizes are needed.

 

We are also looking to recycle bedding, clothes, sleeping bags and so many other things.

 

How can you help?

  • Give us your clean, gently used office attire!
  • Donate 4 rolling clothes racks, plastic or metal coat hangers or shoe racks
  • See a complete list of items for Ripple Textiles 
  • We will be collecting these items at the April 8th Luncheons.
