CAREER CLOSET

The Career Closet was developed to help empower women.  In particular, our program serves women in need of clothes for interviewing and employment. Individuals may choose their own outfits at no cost to them. Volunteers will assist with clothes selection and may help with employment applications, resumes or interviewing skills.
