The Newcastle branch of the Sydney-based charity Dress For Success, which supports more than 200 women each year to access career support workshops, interview styling and job preparation services, has received a welcome helping hand to keep its Newcastle showroom open for another year after a significant donation was added to its ongoing fundraising campaign this week.
Orica's Kooragang Island and Kurri Kurri Operations contributed $40,000 to the campaign on Friday, launching the fundraiser towards its goal of $75,000 - the amount the charity says it needs to run its Broadmeadow showroom, where it stores quality donated second-hand clothing and books, as well as running its face-to-face services to assist from Hunter women. The donation was made through Orica's community investment program, which supports social, environmental, and economic initiatives with enduring value.
