SUITED FOR SUCCESS

You can make a difference in someone’s life by donating your gently used business suits. We are also collecting dress pants, skirts, dress shirts, blouses, ties, purses and dress shoes.

We have three methods to let us know if you can help with the program.

• Post your contact information and the best time to contact you.
• Email Junky (Angie) at junky@funkyourjunk.com
• Drop off your suit at our store on the Market at 110 Parent St. between St. Patrick and Murray. Please call for times.

We are also asking you to pass on this information to as many people as possible.

TAPP contacted us to be part of the Suited for Success program.   We will help play a small role towards their mission:

To provide the disadvantaged (low-income men and women, Aboriginals, single parents, at-risk youth, the unemployed, recent immigrants) with the means to realize their potential and escape poverty.
