Over the course of two hours, volunteers will open and sort through boxes of new name brand clothes and organize the items into a Pop-Up boutique of sorts. Items will be displayed on clothing racks in a way that resembles a department store. Like a department store, there will be several mannequins to be styled. If the group is larger than 20, we will have a portion of the group receiving and processing incoming donations of furniture, housewares and clothing and restocking our showroom where clients shop.
A Wider Circle uses a neighbor to neighbor approach in facilitating the the lateral passing of goods, skills and connections from one neighbor to another in our community. Best known for providing essential home furnishings, our work extends far beyond furniture. We equip job seekers with professional attire, provide career coaching to support long-term employment, and operate our Ward 8 Hub in Southeast Washington, DC - a community centered space offering programs and resources designed to create lasting impact.
