Suit up for a good cause, folks of Clayton County. The Office of Solicitor General Charles A. Brooks and Clayton County Parks & Recreation have teamed up to organize a Business Attire Clothing Drive, aiming to help those in need dress for success. The drive, which kicked off on Monday and runs until May 23, is your chance to clear out your closet and donate your gently-used business garments.
If you're looking to contribute, you can easily drop off your donations at any one of the three designated locations: Virginia Gray Recreation Center, South Clayton Recreation Center, and Jim Huie Recreation Center. These facilities have opened their doors to accept items that could help someone to seamlessly step into a job interview or a new role. The initiative underlines the belief that the right attire can indeed make a critical difference when it comes to first impressions in the professional world.
A statement from the County's website beckons community members to search through their wardrobes for business suits, skirts, blouses, dress shirts, and other professional apparel that could aid individuals who are on the job hunt. “Your clean, gently-used business attire can help open the door to new opportunities for someone in need,” said the announcement, highlighting the transformative power a pair of slacks or a blazer can wield in the realm of employment.
