“Dayton’s devastation includes people who lost everything in the recent tornado, including their work wardrobes,” CTW Executive Director Cindy Garner said in a news release. “It is hard to return to work when you have nothing to wear.”

Items needed for men and women include new or gently-used and work-appropriate pants, tops and shoes. They also are requesting new and packaged undergarments and socks.

More clients than usual are anticipated due to increased need.
