For those of you who know me well, you know I love a challenge – I find it exhilarating to overcome an obstacle, defy a risk or breakthrough a limitation. You also know I am adamant about helping people find and keep meaningful employment.
Here’s something you may not know. I have been affiliated with an organization called The Women’s Alliance for over ten years.
The Women’s Alliance is a national membership organization of independent, community based non-profit agencies who share a unified mission:
To provide professional attire and career skills training to disadvantaged women and their families to achieve self-sufficiency through employment.
The Women’s Alliance functions as a national resource for collaborative program development, fund raising, public relations, marketing and advocacy to help members maximize services within their local communities while raising awareness and support of employment solutions for underserved populations nationwide.
After over a decade of service helping a diverse population transition into the workplace by providing appropriate professional attire, skill development and job training support, our services are needed more than ever.
And in these difficult economic times, clothing, training and job search support are needed not only by women, but by men and disadvantaged youth too. The Women’s Alliance is not only aware of these needs, but working to respond with real solutions that can and will help people regain their self-sufficiency through employment.
Over the years when we said, “Someone’s Future Is hanging in Your Closet”™, you’ve given generously of your clothes, your time and your resources. And for this, we thank you.
Now we’d like to ask you to join with us in our $10 Challenge to prove that it doesn’t take a lot to make a big difference in the lives of those around us.
- $10 will provide a new suit to a client
- $10 will provide two blouses and a pair of work shoes
- $10 will help off-set the cost of a training room to provide career and job search training
- $10 will help to provide someone out of work with the resources needed to support the confidence and skills required to get a job
There is true power in small actions when those actions are backed by many. Your $10 gift will help one of the 60,000 people we serve each year. Your donation will also help us achieve our goal to raise $100,000 so that we may dress and train a growing population to transition back into the workforce.
Please click here to share your $10 with us…and a little bit more if you like.
And, through the support of FlipCam, you will be able to see the immediate effect your contributions will provide.
Flip Cam is providing The Women’s Alliance with their video recorders as part of their Flipforgood program. Over the coming months you’ll be able to go to our website at www.thewomensalliance.org to see our $10 Challenge at work — to create work! Thanks in advance for your support.
Enjoy the happiest of holiday seasons
All the best

Managing Partner, The Women’s Alliance
