Host Your OWn Drive

특정 품목이나 품목 세트를 위해 자신의 의복이나 필수품을 정리하여 우리 자매의 옷장을 도우십시오.

Conduct A Drive In 3 Easy Steps: 
  1. Let us know you plan to conduct a drive and when. We can advertise your drive on social media, inform you of our current needs, and schedule a time to receive donations. We can even guide you with hosting a digital drive on your own social media if needed. Please connect at oursisterscloset@ywcaspokane.org.  
  2. Call on your community. Are you part of a book club or church group? Work in an office? Want to do something fun and different for your birthday or other important life events? Gather and inform your group to help and let them spread the word!
  3. Decide what you want to donate. The following items are always in need and great to gather through a drive:
    • Bras and panties (bras can be gently used or new, panties must be new and in packaging.)
    • Hygiene items such as full sized shampoos & conditioners, deodorant, dental care products, etc.
    • Socks (must be new in packaging)
    • Jeans and leggings
