This is my last week working as Fund Development Coordinator here at Dress for Success Vancouver. It has been a pleasure working with Deb, Val, and Lucia and the incredibly wonderful volunteers. During my time here, I have noticed that Dress for Success Vancouver attracts some of the most caring and passionate people I have ever met. The dedication of the volunteers is both astounding and incredibly inspiring. I enjoyed working with you, sharing stories and laughs with you all, and will miss you.

Wishing you all Success,
-- Katie

An interesting find in the mountain

Eva and Sandy hard at work in the pink room, just like old times!

Thanks to Capillano's student volunteers, the clothing mountain is a hill

Your hauling, steaming, sorting, cleaning and positive attitude were greatly appreciated. We hope you can come back for another volunteer day in the near future!
