 THE GOOD NEWS FOUNDATION HELPS CREATE A WHOLE NEW LOOK FOR DRESS 4 SUCCESS
Los Angeles, CA – March 2008 – The Good News Foundation, is proud to partner with California Closets to provide Dress 4 Success in Los Angeles, a hard working, non-profit charity, with an ‘extreme make-over’ of its downtown LA location. For years, Dress 4 Success has been providing economically disadvantaged women with the kind of wardrobe they need to enter the professional workforce. The organization receives thousands of articles of clothing annually—including a substantial donation each year from a clothing drive conducted by the working women behind Los Angeles television news. Until now, however, Dress 4 Success was, literally, becoming buried by its own success. The volunteers were having difficulties finding the room to sort, stack and hang the donations that were coming into their small loft space located in the heart of LA’s garment district. Read More |
