Thanks Angel Restoration and PwC!

Last Thursday, we were so fortunate to have carpet cleaning services donated to us by Angel Restoration. A team of Dress for Success Vancouver volunteers emptied the store of nearly everything but a few clothing racks on Thursday morning.

Taking the store apart was easy, putting it back together was a tad more challenging! Thank goodness 5 fabulous volunteers from PwC came in to help us out! Over the course of the day, the store was scrubbed top to bottom and everything found its place again (just in time for our Dressing Services appointments the next morning!).

Thank you PwC and Angel Restoration!
