Join NextGen (SMRC’s Young Professionals), the St. Joseph-Benton Harbor Rotary Environmental Committee, and Lake Michigan College’s Career Services for a Professional Clothing Sale ($5 – small bag or $10 – large bag) on April 30th from 4:30 to 6:30 PM at Lake Michigan College’s Multipurpose Room (L310).
This event is more than just a chance to refresh your professional wardrobe—it’s an opportunity to make a difference. Every year, the fashion industry produces 92 million tons of textile waste, with 87% of clothing materials ending up in landfills—that’s one truckload every second. Textile waste is also responsible for 9% of annual microplastic pollution in our oceans and contributes to 42 million tons of plastic waste each year.
By shopping gently-used professional clothing, you’re not only saving money ($5 small bag/$10 large bag)—you’re supporting a more sustainable future.
Bonus: Free professional headshots will be offered during the event!
Don’t miss this chance to update your look, your LinkedIn profile, and your commitment to sustainability—all in one evening.
