HCC seeks professional clothing donations for students

Hagerstown Community College’s Career Development, Internship and Job Services Office is conducting its annual clothing drive to collect clean, lightly worn, and ready-to-wear professional clothing and accessories. The donated items are made available, free of charge, to students who are preparing for internships and employment opportunities.

Since 2018, the Career Closet has served an average of 150 students annually. Students with the WCPS Marshall Street School Job Development Program assist in the coordination of this annual event.

The clothing drive will continue through March 31, 2025. Acceptable items include jackets, shirts, blouses, skirts, dresses, pants, suits, shoes, ties, scarves, and jewelry/accessories. Donation collection boxes are located in Hagerstown at the following locations:

• HCC Valley Mall Campus (17301 Valley Mall Road)
• HCC Main Campus (11400 Robinwood Drive – ASA Building, CP Building, ATC Building and Student Center)
• Washington County Chamber of Commerce (1 S. Potomac Street)
• Washington County Public Schools (10435 Downsville Pike)

HCC’s Career Closet offers a full pop-up shop for students, on campus each semester.
