We could all use some good news these days, which is why I wanted to remind you that our Orange County resale stores are overflowing with amazing inventory from generous donors.

It’s time for some retail therapy

An invitation to celebrate with me!
The uncertainties of COVID-19 have made us all adjust so many plans this year. The same goes for my upcoming 75th birthday celebration, darn it! I really wanted to enjoy the festivities with you, in person, but now we'll be celebrating 100% virtually. I'm still so very excited to spending an evening of laughter and fun with all of you – online and with my dear friend, Dixie Longate, the one and only hilarious Tupperware Queen. Please join me
A gorgeous bracelet in honor of 30 years!
Even though 2020 has certainly been challenging, we have many reasons to celebrate. I think it's time we got this party started, don't you?!

We are rebuilding because of you
It’s hard to believe that we’re nearly halfway through the year – and what a year it's been!! We definitely had our share of challenges, beginning with a fire that destroyed our Irvine headquarters in February. Yes, it was tragic and we were devastated to learn we had lost everything, but out of the ashes came hope in the form of our generous donors. The support of our community has been nothing short of miraculous! Because of that support,
Please Stand and Salute our Veterans
Our mission? To help veterans achieve the Power of a Paycheck. Our operation? Employment! "I got the job!" is music to our ears. We hear this phrase often at Working Wardrobes and it is particularly meaningful when spoken by a veteran. Our work with veterans, and the career development services we offer through our VetNet program, is very near and dear to our hearts. Right now, veterans need our help more than ever. They face many challenges after service
Times are changing, and we are too – virtually!

Our clients need us now, more than ever, and we are here to help with the support of a very precious resource. Our army of volunteers. In our 30-year history, we have been honored and privileged
