Putting Your Best (Well-Heeled) Foot Forward: Dress for Success San Diego




Stat: Women of color are especially vulnerable in San Diego County and are twice as likely to live in poverty than white women.





“My name is Lettice.  After my appointment at Dress for Success San Diego, I felt that I could accomplish anything. When I put on my outfit, my daughter paid me the highest compliment:  ‘Mom, you look like you could work for President Obama in the White House!’ I succeeded in my job interview, feel good about my new job, and feel blessed that God has structured a plan for me.”




“My name is Maria.  I went home and tried on my new outfits from Dress for Success San Diego for my family and they complimented me on how professional I looked.  I could not believe they were talking about me. Every interview I attended increased my confidence and self esteem. Within two months I was offered a job with benefits.”
