Donations to The Career Closet:

Although we are always accepting donations, we are most looking for sizes are harder to find- XS and smaller (especially masculine clothing) and/or XXL and larger.

Here are the many items that we will gladly accept!

• Jackets, blazers, sweaters, and cardigans
• Accessories (including jewelry, bags, watches, belts, hair accessories, etc.)
• Socks, panty hose, bras, and unused underwear of various sizes
• Unused or gently used hygiene products (including soap, hair products, unused menstrual products, unused dental care items, etc.)

Before donating to The Career Closet:

Please ensure that all items are in good condition, freshly laundered, and/or new and unused. To make a donation please email Jordan Lowery (they/them) at jlowery@fullcoll.edu or Rabia Khan (she/her) at rkhan@fullcoll.edu to set up a time to drop off your stuff. You can also email them if you have questions or to ask about donating something that is not on the list! Your contributions can be tax deductible so please request a tax letter at drop off.

Amazon Wish List:

You can also make a donation by sending us something off of our Amazon Wish List. Remember to stay tuned and check-in for when this list changes!

Donations to USAgain Bin:

As part of our commitment to staying as sustainable as possible, we’re happy to continue our partnership with USAgain. This organization provides communities with a convenient and eco friendly option to offload excess clothing. For items that are donated to The Career Closet, but are not exactly what we are looking for, we can use the TreeMachine.

Our USAgain partner bin, the TreeMachine, is located by the 2000 building parking lot, behind the bookstore, next to the loading/unloading zone (yellow curb). Please ensure all donations are bagged prior to placing in the USAgain bin.

The Career Closet operates on a point-system. Each student who is enrolled in at least .5 units will have 5 points associated with their student ID number at the beginning of each semester. They can earn an additional 3 points by paying their AS benefits fee and in addition another 2 points by referring 2 fellow students. For a total of 10 points each semester! (The quickest way to provide proof of enrollment is with an updated validation sticker on the top right of your student ID, provided by the Admissions and Records office, Hornet Resource Center, or Student Center.)

Each item in The Career Closet is worth 1 point and are free for the students to keep! We only ask students not to take more than 2 items from the same category each semester. (e.g. no more than 2 jackets, 2 pairs of shoes, etc.)

Measurement Assistance and Gender-Affirming Garments:

We also now offer discrete measurement assistance and ordering for gender-affirming garments (e.g. binders and compression underwear- limit 1 per student) for our students who need them. Since these garments have to be ordered from an outside company, that does mean that there is a wait time between requesting and receiving the item. Simply fill out our convenient Gender Affirming Undergarment Fitting Appointment Sign Up Form or reach out to jlowery@fullcoll.edu to submit a request and they will get back to you as soon as they can.

On that note, we wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude toward the company offering us these garments at a discount so that we can obtain them for our students in need – Gender Bender Apparel LLC.
