"This drive is planned and hosted by a supporter of Dress for Success Seattle."
Start going through your wardrobe for needed donations of clothing and accessories.
- Dress for Success (DFS) collects well-made, well-cared clothing for women seeking employment as they move from domestic violence isolation, disasters like flooding, robbery, house or wild fires, and other refugees resulting in devastating loss of clothing.
- These women are helped to put the best foot forward, to choose the best outfit for the interviews they must do and are also outfitted for clothing to fit the business for which they'll be employed.
- Right now, DFS needs handbags, accessories and essentials and only extra large size business suits.
- Anyone (men) can donate money,
preferably checks made out to
DRESS FOR SUCCESS SEATTLE. - A receipt will be sent to each financial or item donor by DFS directly.
"This drive is planned and hosted by a supporter of Dress for Success Seattle."

Black History: Eartha Kitt
Jessica Amanda Salmonson
Conceived by rape, born on a cotton plantation, never certain who her father was, abandoned by her mother, abused as a child because she was "yaller" and was forced to live in the crawl space under the house with the cats.
She rose to become an internationally beloved singer, dancer, actor, and comedienne. She was an anti-war activist and member of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, who gained the wrath of President Johnson and was harassed for years by the FBI. A vocal advocate of LGBT rights.
Asked about her following from and affinity for the gay community, she said, "We're all rejected people, we know what it is to be refused, we know what it is to be oppressed, depressed, and then, accused, and I am very much cognizant of that feeling. Nothing in the world is more painful than rejection."
Eartha Kitt. SHE PERSISTED.
