Dress for Success Twin Cities believes in empowering every woman through employment.

10/09/2026

Today is World Mental Health Day, a moment to recognize how closely well-being and economic mobility are connected.
For many of the women we serve, the path to a new career begins long before the interview. It begins with rebuilding confidence after a layoff, a move, or a season of starting over. Financial stress, isolation, and uncertainty weigh heavily, and they can make the next step feel out of reach.

That is why our work goes beyond the job search. Through Confidence Coaching and a Positive Network of Support, women across Minnesota find encouragement, connection, and people who believe in them. When a woman feels seen and supported, she walks into her next opportunity with a steadier sense of what she has to offer.

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, and partner who helps make that support possible. Today, we hope you’ll take a moment to check in on yourself and the people around you.

A big thank you to Ameriprise for showing up for women across the Twin Cities this season.

Ameriprise sponsored and sent staff volunteers to support our work with community partners at Jeremiah Program in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, NorthPoint, and Avivo just last week. At each stop, their team helped women find Workplace Attire that fits who they are and where they're headed, giving them confidence for the next step in their careers.

Partnerships like this help us reach more women where they already are. They also open doors to economic mobility for women and their families. We're so grateful to the Ameriprise team for giving their time and their hearts to this work.

What happens after 321 drop offs? Our WEARhouse team and volunteers get to work!

Every bag from Saturday's Donation Day is being unpacked, sorted, and checked so it's ready for the women we serve. That cozy sweater, those polished flats, the blazer you loved but never wore? They're about to start a whole new chapter.

Soon, each piece will help a woman build a Workplace Attire look that feels like her, so she can walk into her next interview or first day with confidence.

Thank you for trusting us with your closet. We promise to put every piece to good use!

Wow! 321 drop offs at Donation Day this past Saturday! Our WEARhouse in St. Louis Park was buzzing, the bags kept coming, and our hearts are still full.

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, and supporter who showed up for us. Every blazer, blouse, and pair of shoes you brought will help a woman walk into her next interview or first day on the job feeling confident and ready.
And to our incredible volunteers, you greeted, lifted, sorted, and smiled through it all. We could not have done it without you!

Missed Donation Day? You can still support our clients through our Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1KI7OVDS45U91/

A heartfelt thank you to Katie Thering of Katie Thering Photography & Design for volunteering her time and talent at our Success Express event with Allianz this September!

Katie first connected with us as a guest at our annual Power of You fundraising event earlier this year, and we're so glad she did. It's a wonderful reminder of how one evening of community can grow into lasting support.

With more than 15 years behind the lens here in the Twin Cities, Katie brought warmth, patience, and an incredible eye for capturing people at their most confident. Moments like these help us share the story of what happens when women feel seen and supported.

Thank you, Katie, and thank you to Allianz for hosting!
