We all clean out our closets right? The question is, what do you do with all of your clothes? For years, that answer for me has been Dress for Success. This organization provides professional attire for women in need (they have been doing so for over 15 years). I knew I wanted to donate the minute I heard about them. As a broadcaster I wore suits most of the time, and Dress for Success was a way that I could help empower other women to achieve their dreams simply by donating my gently used suits. Does a suit make the woman? No, but it’s a strong visual resume that says, “I mean business, and I am a force to be reckoned with.” That feeling of empowerment, capability, and purpose is what I hope the Dress for Success clients feel every time they go in to a job interview. Our charitable mission at QVC is to support the success and wellness of women through the power of relationships. My relationship with Dress for Success is my way of extending a hand. My (cheering section) message to the clients… “get out there sister, here’s a suit (of armor), reach for your dreams, conquer the world, thrive!”

There are any number of ways that we can assist one another on this journey of life, I would love to hear about your efforts.
