Local women are bearing the brunt of this ‘she-cession’.
2.8 million women without the work they need.
These numbers speak to thousands of individual and family stories of hardship, struggle and real pain.
That’s why Dress for Success Vancouver has launched Helping Women Now.
And we need your help.
Here are some ways you can support women now:
Local women urgently need to get help now to enable them to deal with financial hardships that are made so much worse by this pandemic.
We are helping women now…
By helping them access support programs and find employment…
By referring them to critical services like food banks and shelters…
By being a friendly and trusted voice during a time of stress and turmoil.
Please donate and enable this crucial work to continue.
Every donation counts – please consider giving whatever amount you can.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Dress for Success Vancouver has worked with our vendors, staff and volunteers to reduce our operating costs by 52% while still providing our signature program to local clients.
Thank you to the individuals and companies who have donated to
Helping Women Now
Do you want to support local women during this critical time?
We have lots of opportunities for you to give your time and skills.
If you can offer only an hour or more of your time each week to help women in need, we will provide you with the training, tools and support necessary to virtually connect with our clients.
We’re especially interested in recruiting volunteers who can speak with clients in languages other than English, or who have past experience in human resources or working with women in need.
