Credit Union Donates Clothes to Students Looking for Jobs

SAN BERNARDINO >> Arrowhead Credit Union team members donated and delivered more than 600 articles of clothing to Cal State San Bernardino's (CSUSB) Career Center Clothing Closet, which will help students and alums going to career fairs, job, or internship interviews and in the workplace. "The Career Center, whose mission is to support the career readiness of all students and alumni, created the Clothing Closet in 2015 to help students preparing to enter the work force or applying for internships," said Edgar Perez, employer relations coordinator for the center. Arrowhead Credit Union’s donation of new and gently used clothing and accessories will go a long way to help students who lack the financial resources to buy professional work attire, said Fallon Pitts of the CSUSB Career Center front office support. “The team at Arrowhead recognized the impact the Clothing Closet was going to make for our students and local community,” Pitts said. “They put together a clothing drive that filled six jumbo boxes of professional and casual clothing and many accessories including shoes, purses, ties, and belts.” This donation, which is the largest donation to the Clothing Closet to date, was also timely, as the Career Center hosted a Career Extravaganza on April 11. More than 600 students were expected to attend the event. The donations from Arrowhead Credit Union added much needed clothing to the inventory and will be offered to those seeking career opportunities. “We know how expensive it can be to purchase clothes for work. It’s especially difficult for a student who has no income at all and is on a very strict budget to make professional attire a priority,” Pitts said. “Our team is pleased to offer support by adding to the Clothing Closet inventory for those seeking career opportunities,” said Arrowhead team member Ann Wadagnolo. “These items help provide the confidence needed to individuals who otherwise may not have the professional attire required to compete in today’s job market.”
