Clothing donations for St. Martin’s Hospitality Center
December 1-31, 2011
Collecting professional clothes and more for Albuquerque’s homeless
Clean out your closet and donate to a good cause. During the December Lunches with Leaders and the Holiday Party, YPA will be collecting business attire to donate to St. Martin’s Hospitality Center to be given to their Job Development Program participants as they get back into the workforce. We are hoping to collect business attire – this can be professional or business casual – including: suits, ties, socks, purses, make-up, hair ties, panty hose, hand bags, leather-folios, shoes – anything to be used in an interview or new job.
Alternative Donation Location
The YPA Holiday Party presenting sponsor Sheraton Uptown is partnering with the YPA on this effort. Business attire donations will be taken at the Sheraton Uptown Hotel (2600 Louisiana Blvd. N.E.) front desk from December 1-31, 2011. Each donor will receive a $10 food and/or beverages coupon to the Sheraton Uptown Lobby Lounge.
