Dress For Success

Dress For Success

Dress for Success was a huge success!  Thank you for your response to our request for gently used, nearly-new professional attire for  Dress for Success® Worldwide.  The folks from GoodWill picked up your donations this week – two overflowing bins and an equally crowded hanging clothes rack. We appreciate your generosity, as will the individuals who receive these clothes as they seek employment and better lives!
