About Jackets for Jobs, (JFJ)
Since opening the doors in 2000, the JFJ has assisted more than 14,000
individuals with various needs. This nonprofit organization provides
year-round educational programs to men and women residing in the
Metropolitan Detroit Area; and addresses the challenges associated with
employment search, office etiquette, entering the workforce and
balancing the demands of work and home.
This organization was imitated after the founder & CEO, Alison Vaughn,
lost her sister to cancer and discovered that her sister was on welfare.
Alison wanted to do something to help others who were on welfare and had
a desire to gain employment.
JFJ has been recognized by “The Today Show” (NBC), “The View”(ABC), the
cast members from Donald Trumps “The Apprentice” and NASDAQ as a worthy
organization to support. After a nationwide search, Star Jones, Barbara
Walters and crew of the television show “The View”(ABC) selected JFJ as
1 of 4 charities to support; and the benefits from this opportunity have
been consistent for over a decade. For more info go to
