The Power of a Paycheck
A single story can make a difference. At Working Wardrobes, we get the opportunity to witness the power that a paycheck has to transform a person’s life, and we are looking for members of our community to reflect on the power that a paycheck has had in their own lives. Share with us the story of your first paycheck, and read the first paycheck stories of influential individuals in our community. Share your story here

We are excited to announce some new protocols for corporate partnership opportunities, specifically around Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Days and Corporate Drives.

Corporate Social Responsibility days are back! These events are group volunteer opportunities and team-building experiences. Get to know your colleagues better while making an impact in your local community. Working Wardrobes hosts groups of five to twenty-five people. Email CSR@workingwardrobes.org to book your group today!
Corporate Drives
Working Wardrobes hosts several types of corporate drives: clothing drives, accessory drives, luxury item drives, and winter item drives, to name a few. Our clients’ needs change throughout the year, so contact us to discuss the most appropriate type of drive for your group. We host two clothing drives monthly, so be sure to book ahead.
Camp Pendleton
We will travel to Camp Pendleton to serve Marines who are transitioning into the civilian workforce. Working Wardrobes, along with a team of volunteers, host a career panel, workshops, and a job fair, followed by rotations through wardrobe selection and professional pictures. We’re excited to see what these deserving men and women will accomplish in the future with our help. For more information, preview last year’s event.
