Dear Friends,

Summer is nearly over, yet the weather and Dress for Success remain hot, hot, hot! 

Tomorrow we will host a ribbon cutting and grand opening celebration at our Belle Glade branch office. We had our soft opening in May, and only staff the office one day per week at this time. As things begin to open a bit more, we will be open more days and hope to suit more women in need of interview or employment outfits. Please, help us spread the word regarding this new location!

Later this month, we are hosting our first ever “Teacher Appreciation Event”, where we are offering female Palm Beach County School teachers the opportunity to come into our boutique for an outfit. We know how hard teachers work, and this gift is just one small way to demonstrate our gratitude. 

We are deep into planning our fall pop-up sale (date and location TBD) as well as our 2022 “Style for Hope” Luncheon (Save the date: March 11, 2022!). We have selected our Style Icon Award nominee for the luncheon, but it’s a secret for now! Watch for more information soon!

Our staff, volunteers and directors have all worked very hard to keep us moving in the right direction despite the challenges of the past 15 months. We owe much to them and to all of you who have continued to support us. Thank you.

Stay cool! 

Mary Hart
Executive Director

Back to School!
Congratulations to the recipients of the Dress for Success Patient Care Technician Scholarship!  These aspiring women began their educational journey on July 5th at the Academy of Nursing and Health Occupations (ANHO).  A grant from the Quinn Foundation resulted in giving six women a full scholarship.  The goal is to prepare these students to study the occupational professions of Home Health Aide, Nurse Assistant, Patient Care Assistant, as well as one allied health modules of the student’s choice. Choices include Rehab/Restorative Aide Skills, Phlebotomy skills, or EKG skills.  This robust curriculum will also prepare the students to meet the State of Florida requirements. Today, more than ever, the health industry offers stable employment and the opportunity to grow and reach one’s fullest potential.  These women have been resilient in facing challenges from homelessness to single parenting and more.  They are now embarking on a journey not only to empower themselves to achieve economic independence but also to thrive both in work and in life.
