Help Make a Difference
As part of the WIB’s mission of supporting and empowering women, the Affinity will again be collecting professional clothing and accessories - especially accessories! Please consider donating new or gently used stylish professional clothing, belts, shoes, purses, etc. to assist disadvantaged women entering or re-entering the workforce. Perhaps that special touch you can provide will be the difference that creates a new hire. Please bring clean clothing on hangers if possible. All donations will be collected on site the day of the conference. Our Community Outreach volunteers will do the rest.
