PurSuit of Success Business Clothing Drive

Oct 16-27th, 2023

PurSuit of Success, CBRE’s city-wide business clothing drive, helps women and men across the Phoenix area to access the clothing they need to excel as professionals. Now in its 12th year, the drive benefits women and men in job training programs at UMOM, André House and Harvest Compassion Center. Through these organizations, women and men receive career counseling, job skill training, emotional support and clothing suitable to wear in a business environment. These resources instill them with the confidence and positive self-image needed to pursue individual success.

Gently used items can be donated—Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM—at CBRE's Phoenix Esplanade office, located at 2575 E. Camelback Road. Additionally, 25 CBRE-managed buildings throughout the Phoenix area are participating in the drive. Buildings that have community drop-off locations are noted in the downloadable map.

PurSuit of Success has collected more than 31,800 articles of clothing since the program’s inception, helping to equip hundreds of Valley residents with the skills and apparel needed to work toward financial independence.

Rooted in the ideals of the Congregation of Holy Cross and the Catholic Worker movement, André House is vital ministry in downtown Phoenix. We are a vibrant community committed to establishing relationships. Beyond just providing services, we hope to have a ministry of presence with our guests. Through the generous support of our benefactors, we have the opportunity to serve hundreds of people each day.

At André House we try greeting each guest as he or she is, providing for their basic needs, and recognizing the dignity of each person. Visit André House
