Spring – that time of year when we clean out our closets and visit the local Goodwill.

This year, why not donate your clean, gently used professional clothing to the neediest of folks in the legal community: law students!

The Willamette Women’s Law Caucus is now accepting donations of men’s and women’s professional clothing: suits, slacks, blouses, button downs, etc. The clothing will be sold to law students who will be able to look the part for summer jobs, internships, externships, and volunteer work. Proceeds from the sale will help sponsor a WUPILP fellowship specifically focusing on women’s issues.

Everyone is invited to join us for our first Professional Clothing Sale on Wednesday, April 3, so please mark your calendar. Light snacks will be provided.

To donate, just swing by Student Affairs in the Willamette Law building, 245 Winter Street SE, and let them know you are donating for the WLC sale.
Or contact Casondra Albrecht at calbrech@willamette.edu to arrange for a student to pick up your donation.

Thank you for donating to this great cause!
