Ohio State Lima’s new Professional Clothing Closet is now open for students to find free, work-friendly clothes.
The closet project developed out of the work of social work students in the Volunteer Club at Ohio State Lima. It helps provide students with career-ready pieces and outfits to wear as they move out into the community for class, work and service.
“Ohio State Lima students in all areas from social work to education to engineering are in the community every day working as interns, student teachers and volunteers,” said Rachel Richardson, career services manager at Ohio State Lima. “The Professional Clothing Closet makes those outside-the-classrooms experiences easier by making available career-ready pieces as they transition from student to employee.”
Donations of women and men’s clothing and shoes in all sizes are being accepted and can be dropped off in the closet, Room 205-D in Galvin Hall, during regular open hours, 7 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday-Friday. A donation box is also available under the Volunteer Club bulletin board on the first floor of Galvin Hall.
