Opportunity -- Suits to Success

Edina Realty is coordinating with the Salvation Army and Rochester Community and Technical College's retail merchandising program as they co-sponsor the second Suits to Success event, a program geared toward assisting people as they prepare for the work world.

The Suits to Success program helps job hunters prepare for their in-person job interview by assisting with their wardrobe. Volunteers are on-hand the day of the event to help individuals choose an entire clothing and assecories ensemble right down to the shoes, purse and tie. Having the right attire gives job seekers an extra boost of confidence as they prepare for their interviews.

As you sort through your clothing this spring keep in mind that your professional attire is much needed as a donation to the Suits to Success campaign. Your suits, slacks, blazers, sweaters, dresses, shoes, coats, ties, belts, blouses, shirts...everything work-wear related, can be donated to the program.

Rochester drop-off sites include Edina Reality, 1301 Salem Road, S.W.; Hanny's, 19 First Ave. S.W.; Premier Bank, 3145 Wellner Dr. N.E., Counterpoint, a first-floor shop at University Square; and the Salvation Army Thrift Store, 201 Ninth St. S.E.
