ATTENTION: At this time i'm reaching out to all my male friends or their significant others to look through your closets to see if you can help me outfit some new male clients. Although every size is much needed right now, I am particularly looking for pants waist size 34" Jacket 40-42 R, shirt, neck size 15.5-16 and shoe size 9. If you can help me out, please let me know. I can pick up. Thank you!!!

Hi, Everyone,

To those of you who participated in a clothing exchange party or just donated items of clothing - Thank you again! I wanted to share an update to let you know what you've contributed to. Last week's pilot program at the BEC was a great success. I spent Thursday and Friday at the BEC meeting with people from many different walks of life who for various reasons are looking for assistance in securing employment. My objective is to help these men and women understand how to project confidence and assurance and create a powerful first impression to potential employers.

The first day was pre-booked and, as a result of the positive reactions from participants as they left their meetings with me, by the end of the first day the second day was booked solid! I was able to meet with 14 people over the two days and send them on their way with some great new outfits!

What a person wears has a significant impact on how they feel and how they come across, and that is why your clothing donations are a big part of the program's success. There is clearly a need for this service in our community, and I am already booked to do the same thing with "Employment Solutions" in Welland next month. I'm really pleased with the quality of clothing I've been able to provide and would like to encourage you to consider my program when you have clothing items you no longer need, as I will require a regular supply in order to keep the program going. Right now I'm in particular need of items for men and would like to ask that you spread the word to your families, friends and colleagues with this specific request.

Remember that you can host your own clothing exchange party any time. I would love to help with this! (905-321-9043, [email protected])

Please help me spread the word and keep the momentum going. Thank you again for your support!

Sincerely,
Jola

Had a first visit to a St. Catharines shelter last night. Several women, men and even a couple of children came out to receive some gently worn clothing that i've been collecting over the past few months. The smiles, the gratitude, the hugs.... it was simply overwhelming! With your help we can make this program a wonderful success, reaching women, men and children from all the local shelters in our neighbourhoods. Please continue your support by donating your gently used clothing and by spreading the word to your friends and colleagues about supporting this program. Thank you!

Jola of Jola's Design is offering a new service this winter.

Starting in January, Jola will be going into various women's shelters on a regular basis to work with the women and teach about body styles, make-up application, first impressions, etc. Her goal is to outfit each and every woman with 1-2 new (gently worn) outfits and boost their confidence in preparation for a job interview or just a fresh new start in their lives.

In order to be able to do this successfully, Jola is asking for donations of gently used clothing, shoes, handbags etc. of all sizes. She is especially interested in suits, dress pants, blouses, blazers, jackets, dresses and skirts, anything that would be great to wear to the work place and make a good first impression. Please help her make this a big success!!! These women need and deserve to feel confident and empowered to move ahead.

Donations can be dropped off at 144 Westchester cres, St. Catharines, arrangements can be made for pick up by calling Jola at 905-321-9043 or e-mailing her at [email protected]

Jola is organizing clothing exchange/charity drive parties where one not only donates gently used clothing to the program but can purchase any of the gently worn items for a small fee.
The money raised as well as the clothes collected will go toward the program.
There isn't a more fun way to interact with a bunch of ladies, with a snack and a drink while helping the cause. If you are interested in hosting a clothing exchange party or wish to join one already planned please contact Jola.
