Comments from Recipients

*Thank you for your donations of fantastic books. The clients love the books. Wardrobe for Opportunity relies on contributions like yours to provide economically disadvantaged women transitioning from welfare to help them find a job which helps them to achieve economic self-sufficiency.
Karen Smith, Executive Director, Wardrobe for Opportunity

*The youngsters we provide service to would like to say "thank you", for your very generous donation of new books. The titles are fabulous and the kids totally enjoy reading them. It means a great deal to these children to be remembered, and your donation is often the only gift the children have ever received. Our hope is that your act of kindness will help generate good deeds in them. Shannon Grosenheider, Executive Administrative Assistant, Juvenile Hall Auxiliary
