Spring cleaning with purpose!

This spring, CWiE Edmonton is coming together to support Suit Yourself – Wardrobe for Women Association, a local nonprofit that helps women prepare for interviews, employment, and life transitions by providing clothing and confidence-building support.

Suit Yourself works closely with organizations across Edmonton – including women’s shelters, newcomer programs, and training institutions – supporting women at all stages of their journey. From interview-ready outfits to everyday essentials, their work helps remove barriers and create real momentum toward employment and independence.

We’re inviting members to take part in a collective spring clean with purpose – going through your closet and passing along pieces that can directly support another woman stepping into her next chapter.

What to Donate

Women’s clothing and accessories that align with Suit Yourself’s guidelines, including:

Business and business-casual clothing

This is a free event – registering helps us get a general sense of participation for planning purposes. If you’d like to contribute but can’t make the drop-off window, please reach out to Morgan Proudfoot (morgan.proudfoot@qualuscorp.com) and we’ll coordinate an alternative.

Additional Impact:

Suit Yourself works closely with the Bissell Centre, and any items not used on the suiting floor are redirected to the Bissell Thrift Store – extending the impact of every donation.
