Got Business Suits You Don't Wear Anymore?

It happens to all of us at one time or another, we find ourselves looking at a closet full of clothes that don’t fit or just aren’t our style, anymore. We remember the price we paid for those quality suits and throwing them away just doesn’t seem right. We’d give them to someone who needed them, but we just don’t know anyone who would want them. If we’d only known about Dress for Success or Career Gear, our problem would have been solved.

Dress for Success - “Founded in New York City in 1997, Dress for Success is an international not-for-profit organization offering services designed to help our clients find a job and remain employed.
