The Mission Viejo City Council presented a proclamation recognizing 35 years of service by Working Wardrobe, a local nonprofit that provides clothing, career navigation and training to people reentering the workforce.
A Working Wardrobe representative recalled the organization’s founding in 1990 by Jeri Rosen, described an expansion of services beyond clothing to include career navigation, training, apprenticeships and job‑placement support, and said the program has reached roughly 132,000 people since inception and about 5,000 per year (7,415 served in the last year). The group described retail outlets called The Hanger that sell donated goods to support services and listed volunteer opportunities and upcoming events, including a spring festival on March 22 and a gala in September.
Council members presented a proclamation and thanked the organization for its long service; council encouraged residents to engage via volunteering, donations or attendance at upcoming events.
No council action was required; the proclamation was ceremonial recognition of the nonprofit’s community impact.
