The YWCA Working Wardrobe is a unique clothing bank offering free, business appropriate attire to homeless or low-income women in need of clothing for interviews or new jobs. The Working Wardrobe is staffed by volunteers and serves more than 3,200 women each year from its facilities in Seattle, Redmond and Everett.

How it works
Working Wardrobe locations in Seattle and Redmond operate on a voucher system. Clients are referred by counselors or case-managers who provide a voucher to receive free, work-appropriate clothing. Clients can redeem their vouchers at one of those two locations.

Everett Working Wardrobe is open Thursdays, Noon to 6 p.m. by appointment only. Clients should call in advance to schedule an appointment.

Donations
Individuals and groups in the community donate all of the clothing in the Working Wardrobe. In addition, some retail stores occasionally donate surplus supplies of nylons, cosmetics and other items. The YWCA greatly appreciates all donations. At times, however, we receive more clothing donations than we can use or store. Please call the locations listed above in advance to see if donations are being accepted and what items are currently needed. We accept office-appropriate, reasonably fashionable clothes, accessories (hand bags, scarves, umbrellas) and shoes, and have a specific need for large sizes. Please make sure that all donated clothing is dry-cleaned and in good condition.
