A special thank you to Valerie Zehl for writing this article accessible on pressconnects about a YWCA run program designed to assist the needy in our community, Perfectly Suited

takes in gently used business attire for men and women and makes it available at no cost to those who will make good use of it.

What makes this program special is the collaborative effort between a private donor, a university, a non-profit and a private retail business.

In 2004, Binghamton University business students procured a $2,000 Manley’s Leadership Grant and came up with the name and logo to launch the fledgling operation — and Sall-Stearns Men’s Clothing in downtown Binghamton donates use of its basement as a convenient site for it.

Good to see each entity, each person doing something positive; recognizing a need in the community and finding a way of meeting that need.  Thank you Valerie for your article, and to Theresa Bovier, Ron Sall, and the people who make venture possible every day.
