Suitably Attired is a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive services, at no cost, to low-income women seeking economic self-sufficiency through employment. Suitably Attired provides clients with interview or work appropriate attire, and offers individualized support, educational programming, and personal attention.
Clients are referred by a number of social service agencies, job readiness programs, and the welfare department. Our clients are primarily in their twenties and thirties; many are entering the job market for the first time; 95% are single mothers, many of whom have been abused, and many come from area shelters. We have recently opened our doors to those coming out of drug and alcohol treatment programs and the criminal justice system. Almost all of our clients report household incomes of less than $10,000. The need for our services is apparent.
