Clothing Exchange |
The Center works with Great Finds located on Washington Avenue to provide
women's business suits to participants unable to afford the major investment of a
work wardrobe.
Great Finds is a non-profit woman's thrift shop that gives WERC women vouchers allowing them to receive professional clothing for free. Great Finds also work with other non-profits that help women in transition. In exchange, we ask the community to support this wonderful non-profit and donate your gently used clothing, shoes and accessories to them.
Great Finds is located at 260 Washington Avenue (corner of Henry Johnson Blvd.) and their number is (518) 449-7715.
The clothing helps build our women's self esteem and prepares them for their job interviews for their new career.
Thank you again for your dedication to women's success and for your support of our program.
