This non-profit organization carries a high professional team from the receptionists to the executive director. The moment a client steps in WHW they are treated with care and respect. They are assisted and guided through the process as well as refer to other agencies as needed. The staff invests much time in training volunteers and providing anything volunteers need to properly represent the organization. As a volunteer, I absolutely enjoyed the enthusiastic and professional environment of its members. I have an awesome time every time I come to help. Everyone receives you with a great smile and of course ready to work and assist other as best they can. Right on ladies, keep up the great work!! WHW the best...

Women Helping Women helps get under privileged women back on their feet and into some clothes. Women Helping Women helps outfit women and provide them with toilet-trees. Many of the women receive clothes suitable for an interview as most of the women we help are seeking jobs. When women come to Women Helping Women they are provided with a personal shopper that helps them pick out the right clothes that are comfortable and well fitting for each woman. When women leave they are so thankful for what they have received and also feeling confident with what Women Helping Women has provided them with, will help brighten their future. Women Helping Women also runs many other events throughout the year such as outfitting and sending teen girls to Prom as well as many other fundraising events.

WHW is a great place to volunteer because of both the clients and the staff. The staff have always made me feel like more than a volunteer and that we were part of a team trying to make a difference. The clients are wonderful and they always appreciate the work you put in to picking out the perfect outfit. I am an aspiring physician and I first volunteered at WHW, so I can do something related to clothing which I always loved. I have continued to volunteer since 2009 because not only have I am been able to use my fashionista side, but I have learned a lot about myself and helping others.

I came to WHW after a long career in the legal field where I had both personal and work-related experiences with many non-proifts. Although it is difficult to have to depend greatly on donations from the public, I feel that WHW does a remarkable job in securing clothing and accessories to help ensure that its clients present the best image possible when attempting to improve their circumstances. The volunteers make a determined effort to put together the best possible composite (clothing, accessories, reinforcement of positive attitudes, etc.) for both men and women, and the very talented and likable staff complete the circle by providing information and training to add to or improve the skills of clients. Wardrobing is an important part of the process, but the overall successful product is made possible by the many opportunities for self-improvement which are available at WHW. The volunteers receive tremendous pleasure from the change in demeanor and self-confidence of clients which results from the many positive experiences and encouragement at WHW, and it is most rewarding to see the ongoing expansion and improvement of services offered to those in need. There is nothing better than hearing a client say, "Now i feel that I can do it!"

As a personal shopper working with women, I've had an amazing time with them. They are so open to all we have to offer, from the resume writing to the wardrobe services. I've actually had a client drop off donations and hug me and tell me that I helped them with their job/career. It's an incredible feeling.

With over 20 years of experience working with non-profits in staff and volunteer capacities, it is important to partner with an organization that truly shapes positive change in the lives of those in need in a purposeful and meaningful way. After careful research, I learned that WHW (Women Helping Women/Men 2 Work) definitely "walks the talk" with their aim to empower disadvantaged job seekers with skills to achieve employment success. WHW's inside out approach meets people where they are, and provides relevant programs that build confidence and tangible capabilities. Their staff and core of volunteers are compassionate, dedicated and enthusiastic. Their humble and graceful demeanor make them a gem within the local community. I am amazed by what is achieved with their clear focus and disciplined management of resources, and I am privileged to serve alongside them as a committed partner in the process. Their myriad of programs and services offer a wealth of opportunities for involvement personally or financially. At a time when there are so many things competing for our time and attention, WHW's no nonsense approach offers a quick, lean and simple way to support the employment success of job seekers who want to secure a better future for themselves and their loved ones.

I got involved in WHW almost 5 years ago. I was touched by the mission of the organization and dedication of the staff and volunteers. In this economy, the services of WHW have become even more important and critical to our community.

I searched for a non-profit earlier this year to become a board member. I chose WHW for many reasons. I'm so impressed with the work they do to assist those in need of wardrobe and in providing the skills to write a resume, interview effectively and find quality vacant positions. The CEO and Executive Director is so committed and talented. She has the skills and knowledge of a great leader and she will ensure the organization stays on the path which it promises. The personal shoppers really help instill confidence in their clients. We have many plans this year and it is exciting see them come to fruition.
