Day 124: "Put Your Clothes To Work"

Patricia here. We read in the local newspaper that the Neponset Valley Chamber of Commerce is collecting business suits and other professional attire to be given to low-income families preparing for job interviews and unable to purchase a "professional outfit".  The clothing drive is appropriately named "Put Your Clothing To Work" and donations are brought to the Norwood Chamber of Commerce.  Paul and I seem to have a lot of old work-wardrobe items that I was able to sort through and donate.....a couple of nice blazers, a sports jacket, some slacks and especially ties....since we are now at the point of Paul needing only a few instead of forty (yes he actually had 40 ties hanging around!). By the time the "back of the closets" were completely hunted through....I found that we had two shopping bags of contributions, and Paul was able to drop them off near his office.  We hope that these items will inspire confidence, and ultimately bring jobs, to those who wear them next.
