Styled Right-WorkWear for Men
Donation protected
Styled Right-WorkWear for Men is a new non-profit organization based in Simcoe County Ontario. Linda Reid, the founder of Dress for Success Orillia and Barrie started Dress for Success 10 years ago and her son Sean asked why the organization didn't serve men. She promised her son Sean she would start a men's program one day. We struggled with a name for the progam and Sean came up with the Styled Right-WorkWear for Men in 2022. Sean was instrumental in helping start up Dress for Success, so when Sean died in June, 2023 after years of struggling with mental illness and substance misuse disorder, his family, the staff and volunteers of Dress for Success Orillia and Barrie who worked with Sean for so many years, decided to launch a men's program in Sean's honour using the name he came up with.
Styled Right-WorkWear for Men will provide free business clothing for interviews and free clothing for employment, whether for the office, service industry or the trades, all unemployed or underemplyed men can access the services for free.
We are raising funds to start up the program and to purchase equipment and supplies to launch the program in the fall of 2023. Styled Right will share space with Dress for Success in Barrie, and we have found a location for Styled Right in Orillia, we need to raise funds in order to sign the lease and purchase the equipment to start serving men in Orillia and surrounding areas. We need to raise over $10,000 to sign the lease and secure the future of Styled Right WorkWear for Men. Please help us bring Sean's idea to life. Your financial support is greatly appreciated, we have applied for charitable status for Styled Right WorkWear for Men and will be able to issue tax receipts in Feb 2024 for donations.
