WEAVE is proud to once again partner with Nissan for the Retire Your Attire Clothing Drive at the State Capitol. Volunteers will dress up the Capitol and local Nissan dealerships with donation boxes to collect gently used professional attire for WEAVE’s WEAVE to Work program.

A lack of professional clothing is often an obstacle for survivors of domestic violence seeking to reenter the workforce. Through WEAVE’s WEAVE to Work program, survivors are able to regain their confidence. This program provides women with professional clothing and accessories, interview advice, and job skills consultation. Those who graduate the program are empowered to go back to work and reenter society as financially independent individuals. Women who obtain employment are also eligible to receive clothing to expand their work wardrobe.

Donations may be dropped off between April 10 and the morning of April 19 at participating Senate and Assembly offices, local Nissan dealerships, and Capital Public Radio.
