"Clothes That Work" Clothing Drive April 23-27


All Yellow Springs women are asked to check their closets for clothes they would like to contribute to a collecting drive for "Clothes That Work" during the week of April 23-27.  A project of the Montgomery County Jobs Program, Clothes That Work provides suitable-for-office apparel to women who are seeking new employment or are leaving public assistance.  Each woman who has gone through the jobs training program receives a complete outfit free of charge for job interviews.  If the woman gets a job, she can then come back for an additional two free outfits.

The Presbyterian Church, 314 Xenia Ave., is the local sponsor for the clothing drive and is serving as the collecting point.  Items may be brought to the church Monday through Friday, April 23-27, any time between 9 am and 4 pm.  Clothes must be clean and ready to wear, and preferably on hangers.  Petite and plus sizes are especially needed.  Jackets, skirts pants, dresses, and tops are all useful.  Belts, scarves, "quiet" jewelry, and lightly-worm shoes are also valued.  The local women organizing the drive say, "Your hand-off may be someone else's hands-up to a new life."
