These individuals include: veterans, at-risk youth in transitional housing and residential treatment facilities, domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, and substance abuse programs. Partnering agencies 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 gently-used men's and women's professional attire and accessories are a perfect benefit for those who cannot afford appropriate clothing. Clothes the Deal provides the job seekers a professional image and sense of support that comes from being 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. At full capacity, the site has room for up to ten participants at a time. Clothes The Deal offers a full boutique with changing rooms and staff to help participants find the right business suit. Clothes The Deal distributed 6,866 pieces of clothing and has clothed over 2,560 participants across Los Angeles in 2006. If you are interested in finding out how your agency can obtain business clothing from Clothes The Deal, (562) 922-8635. Clothes The Deal workshops are designed to help
educate and enhance the participants' self-esteem and professional image
for employment. The workshops focus on five main areas of developing
a professional image: Self-Esteem/Confidence, Business Etiquette, Wardrobe,
Accessories and Hair, 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 need be. 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 to not only provide
clothing, but also provide additional services that are necessary to
help obtain employment. If you are interested in funding a workshop or would like Clothes The Deal to facilitate a workshop at your agency, please contact Clothes The Deal at (562) 922-8635.
