As members of the Junior League of High Point, our co-founders are proud of its legacy of community impact initiatives, which includes the JLHP’s Bargain Boutique.  Decades ago, this important resource made quality second-hand clothing available to community members at deeply discounted prices.  In the early 2000’s, through a collaboration between the Junior League of High Point and the High Point YWCA, the YWCA’s Women’s Resource Center was established. In 2008, the Women’s Resource Center grew to include a Career Closet.  Clothes, like those that had once been available in the JLHP Bargain Boutique, were made available to women in need through the YWCA’s Career Closet.  For nearly two decades, the YWCA’s Career Closet provided professional attire to women in High Point, which facilitated their entrance into and upward mobility within the work world.  In time, the Career Closet was closed. A driving force behind the creation of Working Wardrobe was the desire to collaborate with other community resources available in the greater High Point community to help fulfill women’s longstanding need for professional attire. By providing needed clothing, we believe that Working Wardrobe will help our female community members find jobs, sustain employment, and advance professionally.  This could, by extension propel local women and their families toward better lives filled with more economic independence, as well as improved mental and physical well-being.
