Get a jump on spring cleaning with the University of Alabama at Birmingham Commission on the Status of Professional Success by donating gently used attire and accessories on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 8-9, from 7 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Spring Cleaning for a Cause drive.
Accepted items include:
- Work-appropriate attire: clean suits, jackets, skirts, casual pants, shirts, formal and casual dresses;
- Accessories: shoes, handbags, jewelry; and
- Items for patients: weather-appropriate clothing following trauma or emergency treatment.
The donations will help CSPS’ mission of ensuring that UAB serves the professional success needs of all faculty, staff and students. The clothing and accessories collected will be distributed among My Sister’s Closet, an outreach program of the Young Women’s Christian Association of Central Alabama that serves women in need; the UAB Career Center’s Blazer Closet and the Collat School of Business Career Closet, which provides attire for career-related occasions for students; and the UAB Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine’s Compassion Closet, which provides new and clean clothing to emergency and trauma patients when they leave the hospital.
The drop-off location is UAB’s Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center’s lower-level entrance. For more information, please contact Rita Stewart-Hampton at
