Donate $25
Our organization relies on financial and in-kind donations from a wide range of supporters, including individuals, foundations, corporations and other giving organizations. While donated suits and accessories are vital to our operation and enable us to help our clients with one of their first critical steps in the employment process, we continually need monetary donations for our day-to-day operations as well as for supportive services.
Your donation of $25 will be used towards critical day-to-day operational needs for our organization. Every dollar donated goes directly to support our organization through direct client services.

Gear It Up!Donate $100
We receive many fine donated suits, but typically we do not receive the larger-sized suit such as size 50 and greater. Unfortunately, we have had to turn clients away due to mostly non-existent inventory in these larger sizes. We know that when we have appropriate attire for this very important component of getting a job - the interview - we look and feel ready to ace this part of the job search.
Your donation of $100 towards the purchase of a new, interview-appropriate suit for these larger-sized clients will assure each client will be suited and able to complete their job interview with confidence and move towards self-sufficiency.
Holiday Tie Drive
We are currently holding a Holiday Tie Drive from December 1, 2008 through January 6, 2009. Your donation of clean, gently-used contemporary ties will be greatly appreciated and will help replenish our inventory. Please check below regarding donations drop-offs conveniently located nearest to you.
In addition, your donation of $5 will help us to complete the interview ensemble with the purchase of accessories such as socks and belts.
