The Cabsisters of Fountain Valley Raised $200 at quarterly garage sale in support of Working Wardrobes


A huge thank you to the Cabsisters of Fountain Valley for their incredibly generous donation of $200 in support of our "Hip To Be Square" fundraising campaign! The money was raised at their quarterly garage sale and was personally delivered to our Career Center today by members Debbie and Pam (pictured left).
Their donation purchases 2 square feet of the new building that Working Wardrobes is moving into this November (more details to follow) - the Cabsisters certainly will have a place of honor on our Donor Appreciation wall!
There is seemingly nothing these amazing ladies won't do to support this organization. They have volunteered at our "Day of Self-Esteem" events, our fundraising events, donated clothing and accessories and have been tremendous advocates within the community. Their members will also soon be volunteering at our Career Center to assist with Volunteer Coordination and Corporate Outreach.
Here is some copy from a recent email sent to us on behalf of their members, "We are concerned that due to budget cuts, WW may be experiencing internal operations issues. Is there anything we can do to help? Do you need assistance with replying to emails? Putting together mailings? Answering phones? Etc.? Some of our members may be able to volunteer their time at HQ or at the Hanger locations. We truly appreciate Working Wardrobes and its mission to help adults coming out of crises to re-enter the workforce."
Truly this email brought tears to our eyes - we are so grateful for their thoughtfulness and support!
