For the past three decades, The Wardrobe has been working to end clothing insecurity across Philadelphia.

The nonprofit — with various locations in and around the city — supports approximately 10,000 people annually by upcycling gently used or new clothing, as well as offering education programs to help Philadelphians succeed professionally.

And what better way to celebrate 30 years of empowering Philadelphians than a pop-up shop and fashion show?

The Wardrobe will be hosting a 30th Anniversary Celebration and VIP Party this Friday, May 30, at Rivers Casino. Supporters are invited to celebrate The Wardrobe’s growth and success over 30 years, as a leading organization eliminating clothing insecurity, empowering people for success, and curbing fashion waste.

The celebration includes a cocktail hour with The Wardrobe Pop Up Shop, followed by a dinner reception featuring a fashion show with special celebrity guests and success stories from clients throughout the years.
