As you do you spring cleaning and clear out your closets, think about donating your unwanted clothes to a shelter or an employment programs that helps low-income job seekers.

Women Achieving New Directions (WAND) needs women’s clothing for their clothes closet. The single mothers who are participants in WAND really appreciate having attractive clothing to wear for job interviews and on their new jobs.

• WAND accepts clean, business professional and business casual clothing, three years old or newer

• ALL MUST BE ON HANGERS and ready to wear to a job interview

• Donations are received on the first two Tuesdays on the month, from 10am-1pm, at 2143 Lowry Ave. N. in Minneapolis.
  (If this doesn’t work with your schedule, then call Louann at 612-752=8560 to set up a delivery time.)
