Canada-based department store starts business clothing drive for aspiring jobseekers
The popular Kingsmills Department Store, located in London, Ontario, Canada, has reportedly launched a massive business clothing drive that will help out aspiring jobseekers find employment in these trying times.
The retail has started collecting business clothes from generous individuals. The items will then be donated to ClothingWorks, a non-profit organization that will distribute the business clothing to individuals who want to dress decently during job interviews.
ClothingWorks will be giving away these clothes at no charge to the receiver, thanks to the donors.
Kingsmills Women’s Fashions Manager Chris Demelo said that this worthwhile charitable activity is a welcome breath of fresh air for those who are in need. Finding another work has become common-place these days due to massive layoffs.
Demelo is optimistic that their undertaking will become a huge success, owing to the generous nature of the residents in the area.
The clothing campaign will take place at the store starting June 1 and will run for two weeks during store hours. Demelo appealed to the public to donate business casual or business clothing only in order for them to easily sift through the items.
Demelo added that there donors will get to chance some great items from the store.
