Over a period of one month, AREW promoted the event and collected the clothing, which was given to disadvantaged women enrolled in career boosting programs. The clothing drive is only one part of WIN, whose purpose is to enhance women's professional development and confidence in order to succeed in the workplace. WIN also offers one-on-one assistance in resume preparation, interview techniques and an educational curriculum that emphasizes workplace skills and personal enrichment.

The Advance Group picked up donated clothing from three locations, transporting over twenty 30 gallon bags full of professional and casual attire from Long Island to their final destination at the Pennsylvania Hotel NYC. The clothing will be sorted and placed in the Bottomless Closet Boutique until it is finally given away to women gearing up for interviews and job placements.

Vivian Aronica is an active member of AREW and was on board for the Bottomless Closet Project's collection and transportation day.
