Current ResearchA Suitable Image is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that helps low-income men and women successfully transition into the workforce. We rely on tax-deductible private donations, grants, and corporate contributions.
Our mission is to educate unemployed disadvantaged individuals about the importance of appearance in the job interview process and to provide a work-related wardrobe to help them "start over." For men and women returning to work, new clothing and a professional appearance can inspire self-confidence and signal a new beginning...
Our clients are referred by more than 80 human service or government agencies, employment centers and shelters. They may be drawn from domestic violence, substance abuse, homeless or prison transition shelter/ programs or veteran's programs. Clients may be in job training or educational programs and preparing for job interviews. They may be searching for a job, or recently employed but still in need of clothing. They may have a special need as defined by their caseworker. We will provide, at no cost to the client or the referring agency, "gently used" quality attire suitable for these situations.
