Our Suitable Impressions program helps over 450 marginalized, but work-ready, clients each year, giving them the tools they need to get back into the workforce and find a new job. Having the right outfit and a fresh haircut has an amazing ripple effect on one’s confidence and self-worth.

Last month, Suitable Impressions received donations of ladieswear from Brenda Beddome and Shirley Curson.

Brenda Beddome donated 180Lbs, her clothing that is known for fits that complement a woman’s body and are exceptionally comfortable.

Toronto est une grande et belle ville, mais saviez-vous que 1 enfant sur 4 dans notre ville vit en dessous du seuil de pauvreté? Cette semaine, notre programme United Hearts a livré 4 500 trousses de soins aux écoles du TDSB.
