Danny ’s CLOSET of Hope Did You Know? Over 50% of success in a job interview is determined by appearance, but many men lack the means to have the proper professional attire. “Nationwide there seems to be limited resources for men to get a professional suit for an interview and that’s why we began Danny’s Closet of Hope in June 2007”. ~ Linda Nunley Founder, Danny’s Closet of Hope Director, STAR Program St.Vincent Health “Suit Up for the Job!” Mission/Vision Danny’s Closet of Hope is a nonprofit, faith and communitybased program committed to demonstrating the love of God to men who seek assistance in obtaining adequate clothing for interviewing, gaining and maintaining employment, and building hope for a new future. Our operation requires a lot of support and help comes to us in many different ways. We accept financial and in-kind donations, volunteer support, as well as corporate and community sponsors. Our Operation is simple We are dedicated to our clients and want them to feel more confident about their job interviews when they leave our closet with a great-fitting suit. To provide quality interviewappropriate suits to eligible clients we schedule clothing appointments through referral partners only. On the day of the appointment, our clothing consultant works with the client to select: - A suit, dress shirt, tie, belt, and dress shoes - New socks and underwear - A business portfolio When suit alterations are necessary, we refer the client to one of our alteration partners.
