THIS is what COMMUNITY looks like
On a Saturday in mid-May, Furnish Hope partnered with several local non-profit organizations, to host a Cabi clothing event and make-over workshop for thirty women who are working hard on their journeys to new beginnings. Each participant received brand new Cabi outfits, a fresh hairstyle, makeup and a photo to use for job search, or as a reminder of their inner strength and beauty. The day - and all the effort that went into it - was a testament to what happens when community comes together to empower and celebrate those who have worked hard to build new lives.
"It was a real confidence booster to not only get new outfits and dolled up with makeup and hair, but to have loving people treat you with dignity and respect, and encourage positive self-identity. Thank you for going the extra mile to make a truly wonderful experience like this available to women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy something so amazing."
~ Liz, Workshop Participant
What an extraordinary team effort!
