KEDEM TIKKUN OLAM – PURIM AND PESACH - 2019
Kedem’s Tikkun Olam project for Purim and Pesach this year is supporting the not-for-profit organisation Fitted for Work.
Fitted for Work’s vision is economic independence and empowerment for women and their mission is to help women experiencing disadvantage get work, keep work and navigate their world of work. They believe that when a woman is fitted for work, she is fitted for life.
For many women, the first step to getting work is simply having a suitable outfit to wear to interviews.
One of the free services that Fitted for Work provides to women experiencing disadvantage is a complete personal outfitting and interview preparation service. Their aim is to dress women in a carefully co-ordinated outfit that is professional, suitable for an interview and builds confidence.
This ties in with one of the themes of Purim, namely dressing up for a good cause; it also fits in with one of the themes of Pesach, namely empowerment and freedom, including economic freedom.
Fitted for Work is seeking donations of women’s clothing and accessories. They can only accept good quality, clean appropriate women’s clothing and accessories. The golden rule is…if you wouldn’t wear it to work today, then Fitted to Work’s clients wouldn’t wear it either.
They welcome clean and contemporary interview appropriate women’s work wear including the following items:
Shaun Miller will then deliver the items on an occasional basis to Fitted for Work’s collection depot in the CBD.
If you have any queries, then please phone Shaun Miller on 0439 391 377.
The Kedem community acknowledge that we are meeting on the traditional land of the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and offer our respects to the elders past and present. We recognise and respect the cultural heritage of this land.
