If you are spring cleaning your closet at the end of the year, think of the Caltech Y which is organizing a Professional Clothing Drive for Caltech students. Drop off items at the Caltech Y from
Tuesday January 2nd through Friday January 12th, 2024 9am - 4pm.
CALE and the Caltech Y are hosting their annual professional clothing drive. The mission is to enable Caltech students to confidently dress for success in their career journey; whether it be their first interview or first job! All clothing donations will be for our students to “shop” during the Spring term (no money will be exchanged; students will be able to pick out outfits completely free of charge).
For health and safety concerns, please only donate professional attire in good and clean condition.
What should I donate?
Ties, Bowties, Trousers, Dress pants, Blouses, Button-up shirts, Dresses, Skirts, Suits, Blazers, Cardigans and Sports coats!
Anything you would wear into the office!
Where do I donate? The Caltech Y
