Dress for Success drive begins

MOUNT VERNON — The Republican Women of Knox County are sponsoring its first Dress for Success clothing drive. The group will be collecting women’s professional attire through March 25. All items should be clean, in good condition and on hangers. All sizes welcome. Items are to be dropped off at either of two locations: Interchurch of Mount Vernon, 306 West Gambier St., or Gault’s Plaza Cleaners, 855 Coshocton Ave.
To avoid confusion, those donating at Interchurch should mention Republican Women when donating their items so the clothing may be appropriately marked.
The Dress for Success event, when anyone can go choose from the outfits collected, free of charge, will be held Saturday, April 13, at First Presbyterian Church, 106 N. Gay St., Mount Vernon, from noon to 4 p.m.
This event to provide professional clothing for those entering the work force — or who just need a few extra pieces of professional-looking clothing for their job — is free and all women in the community are welcome to attend.
