Working Gear provides work related clothing and footwear free of charge to men re-entering the workforce. Many of these low income men have been unemployed for long periods and lack the finances to afford the clothing needed to find a job.

We provide good quality used or new clothing, including suits, business casual attire as well as construction appropriate clothing and steel toed work boots. Our customers are currently unemployed, ready to work, and get referred to us through community agencies that assist the unemployed. We do not provide our services to unemployed men without a referral from a community agency.

Referred men are booked into an appointment system for a specific time and attend our facility at 87 East Pender. Volunteers work with them to understand their needs and help find suitable clothing and footwear which are theirs to keep. We depend entirely upon volunteers and private donations of money and good quality used or new men’s clothing and footwear to continue our services.
