At Suited for Change, we believe empowerment starts with confidence — and that includes meeting women’s holistic needs. Our team recently partnered with N Street Village to host a Hygiene Fair, where they introduced skincare and hygiene products designed to promote self-care and confidence. Michelle led an informative demonstration on menstrual care and skincare, creating space for open conversations around women’s health — topics that are often overlooked but deeply impactful. Throughout the event, over 20 women joined us, and 15 signed up to visit our boutique for Michelle’s “Demo Monday” — where clients received not only suiting and coaching but also beauty and hygiene education. Thank you to N Street Village for collaborating with us, and to Michelle for her passion in helping women feel empowered in every aspect of their lives. #SuitedForChange #WomensEmpowerment #CommunityPartnership #NonprofitImpact #WomensHealth

Suited for Change is so grateful to the Wonderland Ballroom for hosting us this year — completely free of charge — for a series of community happy hours celebrating connection, empowerment, and style! Throughout the summer and fall, we connected with guests over our mission, shared upcoming events, and even brought the Suited for Change boutique experience to Wonderland with dress racks, jewelry counters, and a designer wallet sale to close out the season. These events not only introduced new supporters to our work but also reminded us how powerful our community can be when local businesses open their doors to make a difference. Thank you to the Wonderland Ballroom for your generosity — and to everyone who joined us to support women on their path to economic independence ❤️
