Jerri RosenDear Friends,

For the past six years, people all across Orange County and beyond have known that The Hanger at Tustin is where you go to find great clothes, at great prices, for a great cause! With 100% of the proceeds supporting our mission, the success of the store continues to bring in more than 25% of Working Wardrobes' budget. Every time you buy a St. John knit skirt or Diesel jacket at just a fraction of their original price, you're helping us serve more clients!

With loyal customers caravanning from all ends of the county, additional Hanger stores have been in high demand. And we were listening! On February 28, The Hanger at Brea officially opened! The Grand Opening was a wonderful event, giving us an opportunity to recognize the volunteers who gave generously of their time and talents to make this the elegant shop that it is. Terry Finn, owner of R.E. Finn Interiors did an especially wonderful job designing the look and leveraging her contacts to make sure we got the best deals in town on our décor! Mark Sommerfield managed all the construction and negotiating issues that made this store a reality and as important, our own Dani Mayer put her real estate acumen to work in locating the site!

I invite you to come by, sit in front of the fireplace, enjoy the beautiful chandeliers and shop until you drop! The Hanger at Brea is located across from the Brea Mall and just a few doors down from Alexander's Salon & Spa at 391 So. State College Blvd. With two great stores carrying unique inventory, you might just want to make a whole afternoon of it!

Happy shopping,
Jerri
CEO/Founder

Referral Partners

Goodwill of Orange County

Founded in 1924 as a branch of the Los Angeles-based Goodwill Industries of Southern California, Goodwill of Orange County is much more than the sum of their thrift stores and donation centers. Each day, they offer job training, placement, and the tools to achieve individual success to more than 800 people with disabilities and other barriers to independence.

Like Working Wardrobes' clients, the people served by the Goodwill of Orange County don't want charity, they want a chance to succeed. Working Wardrobes helps provide them with that chance, providing Wardrobing and Grooming Services through our Fountain Valley Center.

Business Beyond
the Bottom Line
Cache

Last year, a young Garden Grove High School student wrote Working Wardrobes thanking us: she had fallen in love with a department store dress she couldn't afford, and then found the same exact dress at our Cinderellas for Life event. It is this fairytale dream-come-true that Cache makes possible when they donate more than 300 prom and party dresses for the annual prom event. Read more
