Dress for Success does not have an affiliate in Alabama at this time. We believe, however, that many women in and around Montgomery could benefit from our suiting, employment retention and career development programs. Dress for Success is therefore looking for passionate, dedicated and energetic individuals—working either alone or collaborating as a group—who are eager to positively impact women's lives by opening an affiliate in Montgomery.
A location in Montgomery—and those involved in the project—would support women who are attempting to gain economic independence and to build better futures for themselves, their families and their children. Dress for Success is known throughout the world for providing women with professional apparel. But the suits that we give out are not merely clothing—they are symbols of our faith in every woman's ability to succeed.
Of course, creating a non-profit organization from the ground up can be a challenging enterprise. But the rewards of helping women reach their full potential—thriving in work and in life—are immeasurable.

General questions can be directed to the Worldwide office at worldwide@dressforsuccess.org.

Unfortunately, because we do not have a program in Montgomery at this time, we cannot accept donations of clothing or provide assistance to women in need of professional attire and other career development services. The application described above is to open an affiliate, not to receive services.
While we cannot assist women in the community now, we hope to be able to bring Dress for Success to Alabama and Montgomery soon! |
