Clothes the Deal
Mission:
To assist low-income men, women, and youth in transition, empowering them gain employment and achieve economic self-sufficiency.
Results:
In May of 2004, Clothes The Deal collaborated with Neutrogena and LACOE to conduct its largest conference for 300 jobseekers who are in the process of making the transition from welfare to the workplace. Called "Work it Conference," the conference included valuable workshops, on the spot interviews with notable area employers, and suit fittings for all attendees.
By 2006, Clothes The Deal, had expanded its partnership with LACOE by becoming the primary clothing provider for participants in its GAIN and GROW programs. This allowed Clothes The Deal to expand its staff in order to accommodate the demand. During this same year, Clothes The Deal decided to facilitate the Dress To Impress workshops on a smaller scale, to various partnering agencies that were in need of additional services.
Clothes the Deal has distributed over (221,000) pieces of clothing to over (55,000) individuals.
