DONATIONS REQUESTED FOR SUITABLY ATTIRED
Church & Society Committee is collecting donations for Suitably Attired, a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive services, at no cost, to low-income women seeking economic self-sufficiency through employment. Suitably Attired provides clients with interview or work appropriate attire, and offers individualized support, educational programming, and personal attention.
Clients are referred by a number of social service agencies, job readiness programs, and the welfare department. Their clients are primarily in their twenties and thirties; many are entering the job market for the first time; 95% are single mothers, many of whom have been abused, and many come from area shelters. They have recently opened their doors to those coming out of drug and alcohol treatment programs and the criminal justice system. Almost all of their clients report household incomes of less than $10,000.
You may place any donations in the collection basket, marked “Suitably Attired”, located near the Central Avenue entrance. They accept professional clothing, but are especially in need of the following personal items: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, hand and body lotion, deodorant, breath mints, panty hose, trouser socks and knee highs. We will be collecting items throughout this spring and summer.
