This week, Wells Fargo Private Banking held their first ever Working Wardrobe clothing drive. This effort was spearheaded by Wells Fargo employee, Belinda Kouche (pictured left) and her incredible energy and enthusiasm no doubt rallied the good people at the Irvine office to look into their hearts and closets!
The outpouring of response was truly tremendous with that office along collecting over 250 pieces of high quality clothing, dozens of shoes, and some beautiful jewelry and accessories. We even received close to $300 in financial donations from those who did not have any clothing to donate - truly remarkable. We so appreciate that during these tough economic times that so many gave so freely as they know that while things may be tough for them, they are even tougher for many others living in Orange County.
When Belinda arrived at Working Wardrobes Donation Center on Wednesday to drop off all of the bounty that she and her fellow Wells Fargo staffers collected she was incredibly surprised and impressed with the scope of services we provide to our clients and she truly knew these donations went to the right place. Belinda assured us that this clothing drive was just the beginning of Wells Fargo's support of Working Wardrobes - we can hardly wait to see what this dynamo has in store for us next!
Our sincere thanks goes out to everyone at Wells Fargo Private Banking for your generosity and support!
