Coming in November .....

Raleigh-Wake Human Resources Association is participating in a community services project for Dress for Success in November. 

Dress for Success is an international not-for-profit organization offering services designed to help disadvantaged women find jobs and remain employed.  Each Dress for Success client receives one suit when she has a job interview and can return for a second suit or separates when she finds work.

The drive in November will be to collect shoes, purses, accessories, jewelry, and women's suits and business attire (sizes 14 or larger).

So start looking through your closets to see what you can contribute in November.
