The Clothes Closet

“ You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” Research shows that we form a first impression three to five seconds after meeting someone. In the job search world those first few seconds can be critical.

Goodwill Industries of the Redwood Empire maintains a Clothes Closet at our facility located at 651 Yolanda Avenue in Santa Rosa. Over the years we have provided interview and job appropriate apparel to thousands of financially disadvantaged job seekers and newly employed individuals. The Clothes Closet provides job seekers with interview appropriate clothing, and once employed, we continue to assist with building a working wardrobe.

The Clothes Closet is entirely supported through the generous donations of individuals, businesses, and service organizations. All donations are tax deductible. We accept donations for the Clothes Closet at the business office located at our Yolanda Avenue site only. We will take interview and business appropriate clothing, shoes, jewelry, and scarves.
