Who uses the Career Closet?
Last summer the Women’s Resource Center was privileged to have Carol Cason spearhead a renovation project for our closet housed in the garage. Through the generous donation of time and material from DeZiel Construction, Commercial Plastering, Ryan Ross, Goodson Electric, Wyman Plumbing, Creative Closets, Exclusive Floors and More and West Coast Distributors, we now have a bright, clean room that holds clothing, shoes and handbags for women in our community. The main purpose of the closet is to provide women with outfits for job interviews or the first week of a new job but the closet does much more. Sometimes a woman needs an outfit for a court appearance, church or a funeral. Sometimes a woman has escaped an abusive relationship leaving her clothes behind or maybe it is a migrant worker with very little to begin with. We average 30-40 visits per month. Hours are Monday to Thursday 9–4. To help these women we are especially looking for gently used scrubs, khaki & black pants and outfit
