Outreach

Milwaukee Women’s Center – Bottomless Closet

Bottomless Closet provides education and other needs for men and women who need assistance in finding a job and coaching on how to interview, how to dress, and how to answer the difficult answers of why they are unemployed. 

They are looking for business clothing for both men and women, accessories (jewelry & purses) and shoes (gently worn). The group appreciates clothing brought in on hangers if possible (loose hangers are not needed!). They are also looking for casual clothing for men, including jeans, work boots, polos, and t-shirts.  They have stepped out to help out some men in finding jobs that could possibly work in construction or landscaping.
