WEN maintains a Professional Clothing Bank of donated professional attire for our graduates.
Donation Guidelines
Due to reduced storage space, we ask clothing bank donors for their support in honoring our guidelines:
- We can only accept professional clothing that is suitable for a job interview (e.g., suits, blazers, blouses, dress slacks).
- Clothing must be in the current season and no more than three years old.
- All clothing items must be delivered clean, pressed and on hangers (so that a woman could proudly wear your donated items to an interview tomorrow).
- Clothing in boxes and bags will not be accepted.
- WEN also accepts professional shoes, purses and modest accessories that are in excellent condition.
Donation Times
Donations are accepted Monday through Thursday, from 9 am to noon. An appointment is not necessary. Loading and unloading zones and metered parking are available in front of our building at 920 Main Street. (directions)
Clothing Drives
Due to space constraints, it is important to contact WEN before planning or scheduling a clothing drive on our behalf. If you have any questions, please contact Lynnette Williams at (816) 595-2395 or send an email to lwilliams@kcwen.org.
