TRANSFORMING LIVES

Dress for Success strives to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to thrive in work and in life. Since 2006, they’ve helped transform the lives of over 17,000 women and by distributing more than $1,000,000 in clothing and accessories as well as providing job readiness tools, professional attire and post employment support to achieve economic self-sufficiency. The need for support is greater than ever right now. From jobs to housing, transportation and of course, family, Dress For Success is aiming to expand their resources to help even more. To help do just that, on Novembest 1st, they’re launching a new giving program: The 150 Club. Founding members who donate $150 (the cost to dress a DFS client) or more will be privy to an impressive array of benefits, but most importantly, they will be directly impacting the lives of women in need right here in our community. 303.832.1889; denver. dressforsuccess.org
