On her initial visit a woman receives a suit appropriate for the industry in which she is interviewing and, if available, accessories. After a woman finds a job she returns to Dress for Success for additional clothing that can be mixed and matched to make several outfits, providing her with the foundation for a professional wardrobe. While we may be best known for providing suits to women, it is o

ur employment retention programs that are the cornerstone of the organization. To meet the need for services that would help women both find and keep jobs, we established the Professional Women's Group (PWG) program, which offers women ongoing support as they successfully transition into the workforce, build thriving careers and prosper in the mainstream workplace. Once a woman joins the PWG she is a member for life, able to attend meetings at any affiliate throughout the world, and can benefit from additional employment retention and mentoring programs.

We'll reevaluate our inventory at that time and let everyone know when clothing donations can resume.

TOMORROW!

Join Dr. Shantell J. Chambliss, CFRE, Executive Director of Dress for Success Central Virginia, for a powerful workshop on building financial resilience and making confident money decisions at every stage of your journey.

So many women carry incredible strength, determination, and resilience — but too often, they’ve had to navigate money decisions without the tools, confidence, or support they deserve.

In this one-hour session, participants will gain practical, shame-free strategies to:

💡 shift from a survival mindset to a stability mindset
💡 strengthen financial confidence
💡 make empowered decisions about income, expenses, and long-term goals
💡 walk away with actionable next steps they can use right away

Whether you’re entering the workforce, navigating a transition, or working toward long-term independence, this conversation is designed to meet you where you are.

Because financial resilience isn’t just about money — it’s about freedom.
