Dry Cleaners Help Job Seekers “Dress For Success”

Local Dry Cleaners in Nashua, New Hampshire lent a much needed helping hand to the local Salvation Army to equip unemployed residents with necessary tools for successful job seeking.  Major Carl Carvil, CEO of the Nashua Salvation Army said, “In this tough economy, with so many people out of work, in addition to basic necessities, we want to help those seeking work to be prepared”.

For a time this summer, the Nashua Salvation Army ran a “Dress for Success” program with inspiring results.

Free Suits For Job Seekers

Job seekers visited the Nashua Salvation Army to receive free business clothing to wear on interviews and to job fairs.  The dry cleaners involved in conjunction with the Salvation Army Thrift Store all donated men and women’s business suits, dress shirts, socks, neckties, skirts, dresses, blouses, hosiery and shoes in fine condition.

“One issue with job interviews is first impression,” said Tom Jenkins, chairman of the Salvation Army Advisory Board.  “We are affording people looking for work the chance to dress appropriately.”

Sir Austin commends the Salvation Army and all dry cleaners involved in the program for helping job seekers look their best.
