Katrina (below) is a Suitably Attired success story. She came out of a drug and alcohol treatment facility a few years ago. She got her GED, and now works to help other women earn their GED. She is also a student at The University of Toledo studying Accounting, and has 7 children.

This is Sandra (above). Sandra came to Suitably Attired when she started a new job. She works full time now and also is a tax consultant for H&R Block this time of year. She has been married for 17 years, no children. She is modeling a tan suit and black rayon blouse with an equestrian print. These items were donated by Suitably Attired.

Like other professional clothing closets across the nation, our mission is based on the following premise: If a woman doesn't have a job, she can't afford career clothing. Yet, without appropriate attire for an interview, she can't get a job. It's a Catch-22. Suitably Attired opened in June of 2001 to solve that problem for low income women in the Toledo, Ohio area.

Our Clients

Clients are referred by a number of social service agencies, job readiness programs, and the welfare department. Our clients are primarily in their twenties and thirties; many are entering the job market for the first time; 95% are single mothers, many of whom have been abused, and many come from area shelters. We have recently opened our doors to those coming out of drug and alcohol treatment programs and the criminal justice system. Almost all of our clients report household incomes of less than $10,000. The need for our services is apparent.
