In its own words
We provide donated clothing shoes accessories and jewelry to self-identifying women who require clothing for work and for life. In addition we provide a small bag of toiletry items to each client. When a client requires shoes and no donated shoes are appropriate we purchase shoes to fit that client. Similarly we purchase bras when there are no donated bras available. Finally we arrange haircuts to local salons for clients who need this service.
