Everyday, I go into my closet, look around and after a few minutes, take out some jeans or sweatpants. On the right side of the closet, I have work suits from the days before I had children. The suits just sit there and catch dust when they could be helping out a young mom, a homeless woman or a woman in need get dressed for success for a job interview.
I spent most of Friday night looking around my closet and pulling out all sorts of pant suits, skirts, blazers, purses and other items that I thought might be helpful for the Dress for Success Program. Here are some of the items they need:
Donation Guidelines:
Conservative skirt suits (size 14 and above urgently needed)
Conservative pant suits (size 14 and above urgently needed)
Neutral blouses that will coordinate with suits
New or gently used shoes (workplace appropriate, no sandals)
New (unopened) hosiery
Costume jewelry, purses and briefcases in excellent condition
New (unopened) personal care products (shampoo, lotions, cosmetics, etc)
Check out their website for drop off locations: http://www.dressforsuccess.org/home.aspx
Maybe after my 40 day volunteer project, I'll start a new one...the 40 day declutter and organize project...hmmm.
Until tomorrow, have a great day!
