Your Gift Creates a Ripple...

Tanya, an unemployed single mother of three, got an interview for a full-time job with career potential. If she gets this job, she can finally afford her own apartment and provide for her kids. This interview could change her life, but doesn’t have any professional clothes. She knows she has to make a good first impression.

Women’s Resource Center provides a Working Women’s Clothes Closet to help women like Tanya. After her appointment, she will leave dressed in professional attire and confidence. As you consider your charitable giving, please remember WRC and single moms like Tanya. Your donation can start a ripple effect… changing the life of a woman, her children, and our community.

$50 will provide one recently unemployed woman with 3 complete interview outfits ad the confidence to succeed.

$100 can help 2 newly divorced women regain confidence as they begin their new, independent life.

$250 will allow 6 single mothers the chance to show their children a confident, professional role model.

$500 will allow 10 women to walk into an interview with pride and a professional image.
