I had the great pleasure of sitting next to Jeanne Flint, the executive director of Women Helping Women at an event last week.  She truly is an amazing person and the work that her non profit does to help women reenter the work force is phenomenal. 

 After a follow up meeting, I have decided to incorporate her organization into my business by donating all of the clothing that my clients get rid of to her group.  I will also be giving a few workshops throughout the year to her staff and her clients about dressing for success.

I urge you to donate your clothes as well instead of taking them to the Good Will yourself.  Even if the clothes you are tossing are not in good shape and you think no one will be able to wear them to an interview, give them to Women Helping Women anyways.  They have a system set up with the Good Will where they get Good Will vouchers for all clothing that they donate.  They can then “buy” clothes that their women will be able to use.

 Not only do they help women find professional clothes, they offer career advice, computer training, a computer lab, etc.  I strongly suggest you check out what this amazing woman and her organization are doing to help our society.  I wish we could all be more like them.
