OVER 85% OF ALL CLOTHES THE DEAL INCOME GOES DIRECTLY TOWARD PROGRAMMATIC EXPENSES

PROGRAMS

Business Clothes Program

Through the Business Clothing Program, Clothes The Deal responds to the critical need of job service agencies and their participants. The high quality, new and recycled men's and women's professional attire and accessories are a perfect benefit for those who cannot afford appropriate clothing. 

Clothes The Deal provides low-income job seekers a professional image and sense of support that comes from being a part of a larger network of sponsors. Through corporate clothing drives, a network of drop-off locations and donations directly from manufacturers and retailers, Clothes The Deal is able to collect ready-to-wear items. 

Clothing orders are available for delivery or pick-up. Agencies that provide transportation may visit the boutique in Downey with their participants. 

Clothes The Deal offers a full boutique with changing rooms and staff to help participants find the right business suit. 

At full capacity, the site has room for up to ten participants at one time

Dress to Impress Workshop

Clothes The Deal workshops are designed to help educate and enhance the participants' self-esteem and professional image for employment. 

The workshops focus on six main areas of developing a professional image: Self-Confidence, Business Etiquette, Wardrobe, Accessories, Hair, and Make-up. 

The workshops range in level of services depending on the level of need of the participants. One of the benefits of having Clothes The Deal facilitate workshops is that it can have a workshop on site of the partnering agency if needed. 

Clothes The Deal makes it extremely easy for the participants to attend a workshop by bringing the clothing and services to them. 

Clothes The Deal believes that by adding this additional workshop program to the organization, it will be able to reach additional agencies in Los Angeles that may not be receiving clothing from Clothes The Deal. 

The goal is not only to provide clothing, but also to provide additional services that are necessary to help obtain employment.
