Changing Things in the Downtown Eastside
Working Gear is a men's Dress for Success type of organization opening its doors in Vancouver's downtown eastside. Our goal is to ensure that men of modest means wanting to head back into the labour force don't face the barrier of lack of appropriate clothing.
We would like to welcome you to our Opening Celebration on October 3 2007 at our shop at 87 East Pender Street ( across from Channel M ) from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
Feel free to drop by, meet our Board Members and volunteers and see our shop! We will have a ribbon cutting and light refreshments will be provided!
If you are able, please bring a piece of gently used mens casual business clothes or construction gear. Hope to see you there!
