ENGAGE · Resource circulation

Turn what you no longer wear into someone else's opportunity.

FIX$ EQUIP™ connects donors of lightly used professional attire with young adults, job seekers, students, veterans, and career-transition participants who need appropriate clothing for interviews, internships, presentations, and employment. Not a thrift store — a dignified, community-supported professional-readiness program.

EQUIP donations, requests, and matching are included with FIX$ Pro and FIX$ Gov.

How it works

01

Donor lists attire

A retired professional or neighbor lists a suit, blazer, dress, or shoes — with size, condition, and an optional story.

02

Partner hub reviews

A trusted college, workforce agency, church, or nonprofit reviews the listing and accepts the item.

03

Inspected and prepared

Hubs and sanctioned dry cleaners and tailors clean, alter, and catalogue each piece.

04

Matched by size and need

An eligible participant is matched privately — donors never see names, participants never see addresses.

05

Private fitting or pickup

The participant collects the item at the hub, with tailoring where it's available.

06

Impact recorded in FIX$

Placements and outcomes are measured separately from spend-based scoring.

Current high-priority needs

Men's sizes 38–42, women's blazers, dress shoes, and interview accessories are always in demand.

What EQUIP measures

EQUIP activity earns ENGAGE points, but it never distorts the core economic score. Four measures stay distinct: Economic Impact, Community Contribution, Resource Circulation, and ENGAGE Participation.

Community partner hubs

FIX$ works through trusted organizations rather than arranging private meetings between donors and participants. Hubs receive, inspect, clean, catalogue, and distribute the clothing — providing safety, quality control, and dignity.
