Wardrobe for Opportunity is a nonprofit organization that works in
partnership with the Bay Area community to assist low-income
individuals to “Find a Job, Keep a Job, and Build a Career.” Since
1995, WFO has helped over 17,500 low-income members of our community
from their two locations in downtown Oakland and Concord. Your
clothing donations will ensure that Wardrobe for Opportunity has the
inventory to appropriately dress their clients for work.

Please keep the following in mind when organizing your clothing to
donate:

interview or for a job?
* Can this item be worn by another person right away?
* Will someone feel more confident when wearing this?

Please donate only items that are undamaged, clean, ironed, and on
hangers. This ensures that it will arrive at Wardrobe for Opportunity
in premium condition with minimum wrinkles. If your donations have
tears in the lining, broken zippers, and/or missing buttons, please
have them fixed prior to donating or clearly indicate the spot where
repairs need to be made.

Wardrobe for Opportunity accepts the following new or gently used
