Clothing Drive in conjunction with the 9/26/06 ASWA Meeting

The ASWA Bellevue Chapter will be sponsoring a Clothing Drive for the Clothing Boutique at Washington Women's Employment & Education (WWEE)!   We appreciate your time and effort in making it a success. You are providing a wonderful contribution to those in need.

The mission of WWEE is to assist low-income individuals to gain the skills, the knowledge, and the courage to be self-supporting. One of the many ways we assist our clients towards self-sufficiency and employment is through our clothing boutique.  Dressing our clients for success helps build their confidence so they can get that job!

Clothing Donations

WWEE accepts interview and business appropriate clothing donations to stock our clothing boutique.  Both boutiques are stocked with clothing donated by members of the community just like you.  Additionally WWEE has clothing boutiques on site at both our Tacoma and Kent locations and donations are accepted during regular business hours Monday through Friday.

We are always looking for new or gently used business appropriate clothing donations. This includes: suits, blazers/jackets, slacks, blouses, shoes, business appropriate shoes and handbags, jewelry, scarves, and new undergarments.  We need all sizes; however we have a particular need for sizes 16 and up. We accept women's and men's clothing. 

All donations are tax-deductible.  Our September speaker, Debbie Allen Oberbillig will provide a clothing donation receipt for those requesting one and at the conclusion of the meeting; Debbie will pick up and transport all donations to WWEE.

 For the latest and most detailed info, check out www.wwee.org.

The Bellevue Chapter of the ASWA would like to congratulate Chloe Veltkamp our 2006 Scholarship recipient. She is a student at Seattle Pacific University. Chloe was awarded a $1,500 Cash Scholarship. Congratulations Chloe!
