Accessories will be overflowing this Saturday as South Coast Casuals hosts its fifth Accessories and Clothing Drive for Dress for Success Vancouver, which empowers women to look and feel their best.
Dress for Success has asked South Coast Casuals to specifically collect:
Gently used handbags suitable for business
Belts, jewelry, scarves and umbrellas
Unopened toiletries and cosmetics
New pantyhose and knee-highs
Slacks in sizes 00-8 and 14-20
Trench coats
Shopping bags with handles
Clothing items suitable for an office environment
Donations will be accepted from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Everyone who donates items will receive a thank you gift from South Coast Casuals and will be entered into a draw for gift certificates.
Dress for Success Vancouver promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and career development tools to help women thrive in work and life.
Each Dress for Success client receives a suit for her interviews and a small working wardrobe when she gets her job.
South Coast Casuals, at 5028-48th Ave., is a familyowned clothing store that's been in Ladner Village for almost two decades.
