Career Wardrobe

Career Wardrobe (dba The Wardrobe) is a nonprofit social enterprise that uses clothing to inspire change. The Wardrobe believes clothing shouldn't be a barrier to success and works to eliminate clothing insecurity. Like food and housing insecurity, clothing insecurity is real and limits opportunity.Clothing insecurity can mean not having anything to wear or not having the right thing to wear.After leaving The Wardrobe, clients shine from the inside out with clothing that helps them fit in with their peer group or make a great impression during their job search.

The Wardrobes Outfit for Life and Outfit for Workprograms help people with the clothing and confidence they need to stabilize their lives after experiencing trauma, incarceration or homelessness as well as when they are ready to transition to work with a professional first impression.Clothing services are accompanied by professional and personal development workshops and support opportunities. Clients can receive services either in person or virtually through the new Wardrobe Box program. Information on how to get help is available at www.wardrobepa.org/services.

The Wardrobe locations in Philadelphia (413 N. 4th Street) and Lansdowne/Upper Darby (62 West Marshall Road) are currently open Tuesday-Saturday from 12-6pm for shopping and client appointments. Donations are accepted on Tuesday and Thursdays using a no contact process where donors drop items in carts provided at each location.
