I usually don’t clean out my closets just because they need it. What kind of reason is that?

If you’re like me and need a better reason, here’s one — Suited for Success kicked off its fall clothing drive Sept. 20 and the organization can use what you no longer wear or need. The campaign continues through Oct. 10, so don’t feel like you have to rush to your closet  as soon as you finish reading this post. Wait until after lunch or dinner.

Suited For Success provides women with interview and work appropriate clothing.  Clients are referred by various employment and job readiness/training programs throughout central Oklahoma.

Since 1997, Suited For Success has provided clothing for more than 5,000 women.

You can drop off your clothing  at any one of the five metro Catherines Plus Size clothing stores. The stores are accepting donations on behalf of Suited For Success. Donations of  fall and winter business-appropriate clothing and accessories are needed.  To encourage donations and closet cleaning, Catherines is giving a discount coupon.
