CLT Area Association of Black Journalists (CAABJ) needs community support for our Second Annual Camera Ready Closet. We are collecting gently used professional clothes like suits, dresses, slacks, blouses, shirts, ties and any other garments that can help people put their best foot forward in the corporate world.

Last year, our Camera Ready Closet was able to serve dozens of students and professionals to help them grow their wardrobes and build confidence. Perhaps one of the most memorable moments was when a young man visited our closet pushing a baby stroller with his daughter inside. He said he was getting ready for his internship and the clothes were a big help to him.

We hope to grow our impact this year and we need your help. You can drop off donations at Leslie’s Laundry Care (605 Baldwin Ave) and Harold’s Chicken and Ice Bar (440 E McCullough Dr Unit A-100) until April 14th. Donations will be distributed in an event targeting students young professionals and entrepreneurs happening in April. Details coming soon. For more information on the donations, email Kaci Jones at kacijjones@gmail.com.
