CLOTHING PROGRAMS

BUREAU DRAWER (Thrift Shop)

The Bureau Drawer Thrift Shop provides an opportunity for the community to purchase good, used clothing and other household items at very reasonable prices. The shop, located in the rear of 105 Adams Street in Quincy, is open Wednesday through Saturday from September to June. The Bureau Drawer receives more than 4,000 bags of clothing and serves more than 3,000 customers each year. The dedicated volunteer crew, in addition to serving our customers, sorts clothing and checks the bric-a-brac and knickknacks to be sure all are of good quality. The Shop raised over $21,000 last year for the programs at ISS.

The Bureau Drawer is open to the general public four days per week and staffed by volunteers.

CAREER CLOSET (Career Clothes for Job Interviews)

THE CAREER CLOSET The Career Closet is partially funded by a
$3,250 grant from the City of Quincy Community Development Block Grant Program. The shop provides low- income women who are seeking work or reentering the work force the opportunity to choose free business attire. Women are assisted in choosing outfits from a large selection of gently worn clothing that has been donated by businesswomen throughout the South Shore. Participating agencies refer clients to The Career Closet. They are thrilled to be able to choose at least two outfits suitable for their first and second interviews. We are able to help them accessorize with jewelry, scarves, shoes and handbags. The new clothes help build self esteem. We are thankful for the generosities of these women who have made a real difference in the lives of women who were outfitted through The Career Closet.

You can make a difference on the life of another woman by donating clothing suitable for the work place. We are accepting clothing for spring/summer.  All clothing should be ready for a person to wear, in style, clean, pressed and on hangers.
