My Project

Many families in our area work hard, but still struggle to make ends meet. As an educator I see firsthand how poverty impacts our students—not just at home, but in how they prepare for their future.

A new shirt and tie isn’t just clothing; it’s confidence.

It’s the feeling of being taken seriously, of stepping into adulthood with pride. When students dress the part, they’re more likely to speak with self-assurance, carry themselves professionally, and believe in their own potential. By providing this simple but powerful support, we give them the tools to succeed—not just in interviews, but in life.
