Not "Fitting In" to the work and social network of a job is a root cause of loss of job and poverty. When an individual does not "fit in: to the workplace in terns of appearance, or is unfamiliar with workplace norms of conduct, there is an increased likelihood the individual will be shunned from the workplace social network and be "out of the link" of important communications that can result in the individual not advancing or even losing their employment. 

Some causes of not "fitting in" are inappropriate clotting, poor cleanliness habits or hygiene, failure to realize that company property is not to be take home, failure to know basic productivity norms, etc. 

Failure to "fit in" a workplace social community is a root cause of poverty.

To help the poor "fit in" & increase likelihood of gainful employment...

We encourage donations of clothing for the poor not just to help them survive the day, but also to use this charitable donation opportunity to mentor the poor to:

1. Learn financial responsibility 
2. Learn job interview & employment skills
3. Learn about employment expectations and opportunities

St.Vincent de Paul appreciates donations of mens and women's clothing to help the unemployed helps those in need to successfully secure employment and become financially independent. 
Please support St. Vincent De Paul efforts in this regard with Dress for Success for women and Career Gear for men.
