“Dress for Success has given almost 1 million women the confidence to walk into a job interview, ready to kick start their career and gain economic independence that is so critical to their home life and our communities,” said Joi Gordon, chief executive officer, Dress for Success Worldwide. “With this clothing donation from Huron employees during its Annual Day of Service, even more women will have the confidence to walk into any interview or office knowing that she is the right person for the job.”
