Dress for Success solves the catch-22 that confronts disadvantage women trying to enter the workforce: without a job how can you afford a suit?  Without a suit, how can you get a job? A law firm’s Law Suit Sponsorship provides one or more women with a complete suit and accessories, which include shoes, handbag or briefcase, jewelry and a scarf. The Civil Suit Sponsorship provides women with a complete wardrobe of up to fifteen pieces of clothing plus accessories to wear on the job.   Different levels of sponsorships and information on clothing drives are available.  Call Mary McDonough, Business Development Manager at 239-689-4992 or email Mary@dfsswflorida.org.
