WINGS for Women 2024 | The Wardrobe

The Women’s Independent Networking Group for Success (WINGS) celebrated its support of The Wardrobe of Upper Darby by hosting its May 23 Sip, Shop & Learn event and making a $1,000 donation to help The Wardrobe continue its mission.

WINGS connects women growing their businesses and promotes them through networking by providing support, education, and training. WINGS encourages professional and personal development, building relationships, community involvement, and elevating women in business.

Each year WINGS donates money to a local nonprofit that supports and empowers women in business. WINGS’s support of The Wardrobe dovetails well with its mission.

“The Wardrobe helps remove barriers to employment and independence by helping to alleviate clothing insecurity, especially for women,” said WINGS Facilitator Julianna Schauerman. 

“Individuals can visit the store and – at a significant discount – shop for everything from casual wear to work clothing. The Wardrobe even has a free referral consultation program to help people jump-start their professional wardrobe.”

“The May 23 WINGS networking event was such a huge success!” said Site Manager Kierra Crafton. “We loved having such a positive group of women shop our store and learn more about the work we do at The Wardrobe. We are extremely grateful to them for conducting a clothing drive and for their monetary donation. Both will help us continue to provide clothing to women throughout Delaware County in the coming months. Thank you again, WINGS, for your support!”

The Women’s Independent Networking Group for Success meets at 11:30 a.m. most Thursdays at DiFabio’s Restaurant, 1243 N. Providence Road, Media. For more information, visit WINGSdelco.org, email wings.delco@gmail.com or julianna@zakarak.com, or visit us at one of our weekly meetings.
