On July 11, 2001, the two women pictured here (from left to right: the late Enith Levine and Nancy Schneider) co-founded Dress for Success Boston. When this photo was taken, little did they know that their organization would make an impact on the lives of over 16,000 women! Today we honor Enith and Nancy and wish Dress for Success Boston a Happy 23rd Birthday.

We provide interview appropriate suits and accessories free of charge to disadvantaged women who are entering or re-entering the job market. We work with a diverse population of women who come from many different backgrounds. However, they all share one important quality in common: they all are highly motivated to change their lives for the better and we exist to assist them in doing so.

The Boston Central region elevated our weekly manager meeting by including a volunteer session at Dress for Success Boston. This shift from our routine meetings allowed us to contribute to a vital cause, supporting women in need with professional clothing and career resources. Our team’s hands-on involvement not only boosted morale but also reinforced our commitment to community engagement. The experience was deeply rewarding, transforming our regular gathering into an opportunity for meaningful impact and shared purpose. Thank you Dennis L Gikas & Carolina for putting this together. 💚 #citizens #teamwork #volunteer
