Katy and I started with a Vet visit. We are keeping an eye on a slight heart murmur and avoiding knee surgery… so far. Then I was scheduled 5 hours at my retail job (next week they only have me scheduled 6.5 hours on one day). That left this evening to evaluate my business wardrobe to prepare for Monday. With my weight loss many need to be altered and some are gently loved but no longer liked. I had heard about an organization called DRESS FOR SUCCESS COLUMBUS. They assists low income women who are seeking employment by providing them with interview and business appropriate clothing, a network of support and career development tools. I decided that would be the place to trade styles. I have placed their website in my links. This is the local branch so check for locations near you if you choose to make any kind of donations.
At this time I am suspending my Daily Tally… hopefully permanently. We are praying for the temp assignment to become permanent.
I donated all of my business clothing to Dress for Success and they are indeed a wonderful organization. For those of you who may wish to donate, all items need to be in very good condition and don't forget recipients also need nice purses, shoes, jewerly, and other personal items to prepare them for an interview.
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a men's organization that does this too. The only one we found was back East which didn't do us any good way over here in Oregon.
