The Wardrobe, a local nonprofit working to eliminate clothing insecurity, is donating clothes to immigrants and refugees across the Philadelphia area.

On Thursday, Oct. 31, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., individuals can receive free clothing along with additional community resources, as part of Open Wardrobe — the organization’s monthly open event to meet the needs of specific communities.

Open Wardrobe will be available at four locations: 413 N. 4th Street (Philadelphia), 62 W. Marshall Road (Upper Darby), 345 Scarlett Road (Kennett Square), and at the Exton Square Mall (2nd floor near Boscov’s).

All participants must RSVP at wardrobepa.org/open-wardrobe

The Wardrobe supports approximately 10,000 people annually with the clothing and tools needed to move forward toward independence and stability. They also offer education programs, one-on-one coaching and workshops to help people succeed professionally.

For those who cannot visit in person, The Wardrobe also offers the Wardrobe Box both as a seasonal subscription box (similar to Stitch Fix) for shoppers or personally styled for free for participants. Subscription boxes contain four pre-loved and fashionable pieces chosen just for you by expert stylists and arrive on your doorstep quarterly. For every Wardrobe Box sold, The Wardrobe will send a free clothing box to someone in need.
