Summary
The council issued a proclamation recognizing Working Wardrobe's 35 years of service; Bonnie Pamish (introduced by the mayor) described services beyond clothing, said the organization has "reached over a 132,000 lives" since 1990, noted last year's record of "7,415 people in 1 year," and invited the community to volunteer and attend upcoming events.
The city issued a proclamation honoring Working Wardrobe's 35th anniversary and heard a presentation on the organization's expanded workforce services.
Bonnie Pamish (introduced to the dais by the mayor) told the council that the group began in 1990 to help people leaving domestic-violence shelters and later expanded services to men, youth, justice-impacted people and veterans. Pamish said the organization has "reached over a 132,000 lives on this journey to gainful employment" and that "last year was a record of records year where we reached 7,415 people in 1 year." She described services that go beyond clothing, including career-navigation coaching, training, apprenticeships and soft-skills work that prepare clients for interviews and promotions.
Pamish invited the community to volunteer and to attend a spring festival on March 22, a Camp Pendleton "power up for success" event in May, and the organization's gala in September. Council members presented a proclamation and thanked Working Wardrobe for the organization's service to the county and the city.
