Dear Betsamus,
Except for Dress-for-Success (mentioned bellow: <http://www.dressforsuccess.org
>), there are several other organisation you could contact:
San Francisco based A Miner Miracle <http://www.aminermiracle.org/> do
exactly that: "provides professional clothing and image counseling to
low income men, women, and young adults seeking employment. The
purpose of the program is to move disadvantaged people into the
workplace by educating them to present themselves well and with
pride." . Donation information is at :
<http://www.aminermiracle.org/pages/how.html#donate>).
Suited for Change, "a Washington DC based private non-profit
organization, provides professional clothing and ongoing career
education to low-income women who have completed job training and/or
job readiness programs and are seeking employment."
<http://www.suitedforchange.org/> their information for clothing
contribution is <http://www.suitedforchange.org/hof/Tclothing.htm>; if
you have men's suits, they have a male equivalent, on a nationwide
basis:
Career Gear <http://www.careergear.org/> whose clothing contribution
section is at <http://www.careergear.org/donate.html>.
Another national organisation, this time for women, is the Women
Alliance <http://www.thewomensalliance.org>.
Tailored for Success <http://www.tailoredforsuccess.org/donations.htm>
is based in Malden, MA, and provides suits for women only.
Also in the same area, "SuitAbility <http://www.suitabilityma.org/> is
a non-profit organization created to enhance the marketability of
economically challenged women. SuitAbility provides support services,
appropriate interview/work clothing, an evening Drop-In Center, Mentor
program and workshops,at no cost, to low income women."
I hope this list helped you. Whenever I found an organisation, using
search terms such as "donate clothing/suits", I searched for "related
sites", using this special Google feature. Please contact me if you
need any clarification on this answer before you rate it. |
