PHILADELPHIA, PA—Pond Lehocky donated more than 150 items of business professional clothing to Families Forward Philadelphia, the city’s largest not-for-profit emergency shelter for families and travellers since 1915 last week. The clothing hails from Pond Lehocky’s Client Closet, a “Rent The Runway” style service that allows law firm clients to try on, select and keep professional outfits for their court appearances at no additional cost.
The Client Closet inventory, which hit capacity through donations from the firm’s staff, attorneys, partners, and vendors, has remained untouched and unused since the start of the stay-at-home order. The team at Pond Lehocky realized its service could benefit the marginalized community members that Families Forward Philadelphia serves, including those in the Philadelphia region currently experiencing homelessness.
