Business is Good!




















Where does the time go? I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated our page! But no news is good news, right? Well actually is great news! Just to give a few updates and thank yous that we would like to share with you all:
  • Our first bag sale was a huge success. We raised over $600 for the BPP and Dress for Success. We hope to make this an annual event...stay tuned!
  • Thank you to the Caring Mission who chose the BPP as their signature charity for a marketing event at the Meadows in October. The Ladies Night Out basket raffle raised nearly $300 for the BPP!
  • Thank you to the ladies of the Upper Saint Claire Westminster Presbyterian Church who invited me to raid their ladies boutique during their annual rummage sale. Armed with a flat-bed dolly and three personal shopping assistants, the BPP and Dress for Success made out like bandits. We can't thank you enough!
  • Thank you to our new volunteers Harry, Marsha, Mary, Gina, Jennifer and Bob (from Model Cleaners) who came out today to help us clean out for the upcoming renovation of the BPP Room. Soon we will be side by side with Dress for Success, increasing our square footage to over 1,600 feet. Oh yes...we've got great plans!
  • Special event plans are in the works for a fabulous fundraiser in May. Stay tuned for those details coming soon!

As always, thank you to all of the anonymous donors who have donated clothing via our partners at Model Cleaners. If you have a business suit, sweater set, or neutral pants that you would like to donate, please visit Model Cleaners in Belle Vernon, Charleroi, Upper St. Clair, and Greensburg. They will clean and deliver your donation to us free of charge. (AMAZING!!!) Special accommodations for drop-offs at other locations are possible as well. Please contact me for more details!

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season filled with love, blessings and abundant giving! If we can help you help a woman in need, we are only one phone call away!
