With spring just a few days away, some people like to renew their wardrobes and rearrange their closets.
As we transition from thick coats and dark sweaters to light fabrics and vibrant colors during the changing of the seasons, it is exciting. As you look to add some spring essentials to your closets, you may find items that no longer fit your needs. However, rather than throwing away wardrobe items, why not donate them?
There are nonprofit groups that would gladly accept your discarded clothing for those in need, as Eyewitness News discovered.
Inside the New Laundry Women's Boutique in downtown Scranton, spring has already arrived.
Bright pastels and florals are among the trends for this spring, according to the owner Theresa Stuckart.
Stuckart observed, "I'm seeing a lot of yellow, blue, and purple.”
Many of New Laundry's customers are excited about spring arriving, but according to Stuckart, you don't need to buy a completely new wardrobe to be stylish; all you need to do is add a splash of color to transform your outfit from drab to fab.
Do youngsters who watch violent videos suffer harm?
Stuckhart continued, "Some good white denim, some medium wash denim, then maybe put a floral print or plaid to go with that.”
Also, the change of seasons is a good time to organize your wardrobe by color, use slim velvet hangers to save space, and refrain from adding more items to your closet.
Stuckhart continued, "Every time you bring in anything new, get rid of something old.”
And if you do decide to get rid of any apparel, Dress For Success Lackawant to, located inside the Marketplace at Steamtown, will be happy to take any in decent shape.
The non-profit, wholly funded by contributions, assists women with career counseling and business apparel.
Serena Howarth, executive director of Dress for Success Lackawanna, said: "I think that's one of the most significant reasons to donate. When we get donations, we're supporting women and helping to promote self-confidence.”
Dress for Success is continually accepting contributions of women's business apparel, including blazers, gowns, and blouses.
Anything more suited for spring or summer, according to Howarth, should be professional.
Nicole Rodriguez, a Scranton resident who had been jobless for a while, just started a new job at Home Depot as a result of the assistance she received from Dress For Success.
Rodriguez remarked, "They opened doors for me that wouldn't have opened up on my own.”
Howarth said, "They may call us and we'll help them with everything they need to feel confident and prepared for an interview, including helping them draught a résumé, a cover letter, and practice interviews.”
Six counties in our region are served by Dress for Success, which also provides steel-toed boots and apparel for women working in the medical sector.
In addition to Dress For Success, other organizations that take clothing contributions for women, men, and kids include Saint Francis of Assisi Kitchen in Scranton and The Salvation Army.
