The Aerospace Women’s Committee (AWC) invites all current and former employees and their families to participate in the annual “Clothes the Deal” clothing drive set for Monday, Aug. 20, through Wednesday, Aug. 22, in El Segundo.

New or gently used men’s and women’s business clothing is being collected and will benefit Clothes the Deal, a nonprofit organization that provides clothing to low-income men and women for use during job interviews. In addition to clothing items, accessories such as dress shoes, handbags, belts, scarves, watches and jewelry are also being accepted.

Collection bins will be located in both the A8 Lobby and in the D8 Lobby by the first-floor elevator. We ask that you submit all clothing items on hangers.

For more information about this collection, contact Peggy Kearney-Soranno at 310-336-0236, or Jane Ryan at 310-336-2470.

Since this event requires that people look in their closets and drawers, we wanted to offer a bit more notice. A special request was sent out to solicit items from Retirees as they “down-size” their wardrobe to reflect their new life-style.
