Clothes gathered to help unemployed women
To help women who are unable to get jobs because they don’t have proper clothing for job interviews, dressbarn will team with the nonprofit organization Dress for Success, to gather 60,000 articles of clothing as part of its S.O.S. — Send One Suit — Weekend donation drive March 7-10.
For the 11th straight year, all 830 dressbarn stores across the country will serve as drop-off sites for new or gently used professional attire, including suits, dress shirts, blazers, pants, dresses and shoes.
More than 55,000 professional items of clothing were collected during last year, and the stores would like to collect 60,000 pieces this year.
All of them will be given to Dress for Success, which will distribute the articles nationwide to women looking to gain a job or trying to re-enter the workforce.
In Savannah, dressbarn stores are at 11 Gateway Blvd. South and 7400 Abercorn St.
