Out of the Closet

It’s National Get Organized Month, which makes the piles of papers on our desks scream out even more to be put away. At least we could start with this: Working Wardrobes is asking everyone to clean out their closets, cabinets and drawers and donate good quality items. The local charity helps men, women and young adults enter the work force through wardrobe services and career training. All donations make a difference and are tax deductible. Three ways to donate: call Gail Gray of A Fresh Start Professional Organizing, at 714.435.0385 to schedule a pick up; drop off at Working Wardrobes Donation Center, in the rear of the Career Center at 3030 Pullman St. in Costa Mesa, 714.210.2460; or drop off at one of six local Kona Cleaners locations.
