Discover the fulfillment of helping someone in need.... "First off, let me tell you what a great evening I had. I came away with such a rewarding feeling last night knowing that in some small way I had helped someone in need. I can't remember the last time I felt so fulfilled. It is such a small thing to do for someone else and I got so much in return. Thank you for including me.” A quote from a recent Poised for Success volunteer. Click Here To Volunteer >> |

The following are comments taken from a recent client survey asking about their experience with Poised For Success: “I felt very strong and confident in my job search.” “Beautiful clothing options–thank you.” “I think this is a wonderful, irreplaceable organization that aids women in the transition from welfare to work.” “The clothes were in excellent condition and the staff was professional and helpful–very pleasant atmosphere.” “The people were so helpful and they knew exactly what would look good on me.” “The volunteers gave it their all to try and find the perfect fit for every size and shape.” “I lost 50 lbs. and none of my professional clothes fit. I knew that I would never get my job title without the appropriate clothes, but didn’t have the money to replace them. You saved my life. You treated me with dignity and respect when I was down. Thank you.” “The individual attention and the sense that someone cares were great.” “I felt much better about myself after my experience because of having clothing that was flattering.” |

Poised For Success serves women in Chicago and the suburbs including: Lombard, Lisle, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Winfield, West Chicago, St. Charles and the suburban areas surrounding Chicago. Poised For Success exists to make things possible, but it's your support that makes them happen. |
Poised For Success promotes economic self-sufficiency in women by providing business clothing and referrals for career training to women on financial assistance. Our clients struggle with the emotional roller coaster of being qualified for a position, but have no resume, no interviewing experience, and no clothes for either an interview or to wear once hired. Poised For Success is dedicated to helping that woman – and every woman like her – make her appearance enhance her opportunities, not detract from them. We provide free business clothing to women. We accept donations of gently used women's business clothing and accessories.
