Suited to Succeed is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides professional

clothing and job training workshops to women in the greater Baltimore region who are

transitioning from welfare or underemployment to the workforce. Suited to Succeed

currently provides clothes for approximately 200 women a month. In the past two

years, the program provided more than 20,400 items of clothing to its clients. “The

demand just keeps getting bigger and bigger,” noted Marquita Garnes, Office Manager.

In the past 10 years, Suited to Succeed’s capacity has increased substantially both with

clients and donation sponsors.

Suited to Succeed relies on donations of goods, as well as monetary donations from

foundations, major corporations, law firms, retail stores, and individuals that help to

offset the costs of providing clothing and services to their clients. The organizations

tagline “It’s more than a Suit, It’s an Opportunity!”®, is taken very seriously.

“Seeing how a suit paired with the right shoes and accessories can transform a

woman’s life is truly amazing, says Monique Jones, Marketing Director for Suited. For
