Hi Y.E.S. Members!
Dress for Success Seattle has had an exciting year – with a new program director, Kiantha Duncan-Woods, an increase in clients served, and the inception of this fabulous chapter of Y.E.S! As a member, here are a few ways you can get involved and help take Dress for Success Seattle to the next level!
COMING SOON
Closet Treasures Sale
October 24 & 25
Volunteers are needed for the YWCA Closet Treasures Sale benefiting DFS. This is one of the biggest fundraising events for DFS every year, and a great sale! Donation drives are also needed to bring in items for the sale. Contact Tricia Tolbert at Tricia@yes-seattle.org for all Closet Treasures questions/opportunities.
DFS Painting Party – POSTPONED TO EARLY 2010
September 18, 19 & 20
Help Y.E.S! brighten up the DFS closet space with a new coat of paint! Location: DFS offices (in YWCA on 5th & Seneca.) Contact Anh Nguyen at Anh@yes-seattle.org for volunteer opportunities.
ONGOING
Dressings
Interact directly with clients to help them achieve just the right look for that important first impression. This requires a little creativity and a passion for fashion! You’ll be the personal shopper the client deserves to make sure she walks out of DFS and into that first interview with confidence and poise. For available shifts, contact Susan Ward at (206) 325-3453or sward@ywcaworks.org.
See Volunteer Opps at the DFS website for complete info on ongoing volunteering.
