Coming This Weekend – Your Business Suit for a Good Cause

If you have a barely used or new suit in your closet that you have not worn or looked at in at least a year, it’s time to put it to much better use than hanging in the back corner of your closet.  This weekend (February 24-27) is Send One Suit Weekend by Dress for Success.  Read more and tell all of your friends!!

What is Dress for Success?
Founded in 1977, Dress for Success’ mission is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support, and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.  It is an international non-profit that, to date, has helped over 550,000 women find jobs and remain employed.  Read more by clicking here.


What is Send One Suit Weekend?
It is an annual call to all women to donate one new or nearly-new business suit to help other women enter or re-enter the workforce.  Imagine what this would do for a woman who did not have the resources to even have appropriate attire to go on a job interview.  Your suit could give a disadvantaged woman the confidence to take her first step toward economic independence.


How to Participate?
Take your suit to a Dress Barn in your area.  If you aren’t sure of where one might be located, click here for locations.


Send this to every woman you know!
