OWN Presents: Dress for Success Clothing Drive

Upcoming Events News!

OWN is teaming up with Dress for Success, a non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of women and men in our community.

Dress for Success is designed to help clients find jobs and remain employed. Each Dress for Success client receives one suit when she has a job interview and can return for a second suit or separates when she finds work. OWN will be holding a clothing drive at Osgoode to aid DFS in achieving this goal. We need your help Osgoode!

From the week of February 24 to 28, please bring in items for collection. DFS accepts clean & ready-to-wear, new and gently-used, women’s and men’s professional attire of all sizes including:

• Modern two-piece suits • Blazers • Dress pants • Skirts • Dresses • Dress shirts and blouses • Cardigans • Purses • Accessories: Jewelry, belts and ties • Professional outerwear: coats, scarves, and gloves • Dress shoes & boots • New (unopened) toiletries, hygiene & grooming products • New (unopened) hosiery & undergarments

The collection bin will be located in Gowlings Hall. Thank you for your support in advance. Please email ownlaw@gmail.com with any questions.
