Mary Kay's Suits for Shelters program is in its sixth year - the company's independent sales reps will be collecting
women's professional attire, shoes and accessories to donate at its annual meeting in Dallas. The clothing will
benefit 12 Dallas area organizations that support survivors of domestic violence.
There is also a local community collection in Dallas, promoted through a series of PSAs.
"Genesis Women's Shelter & Support is incredibly grateful to Mary Kay for their long-term support of our organization and their tireless efforts to bring an end to domestic violence," said Jan Langbein, Chief Executive Officer, Genesis Women's Shelter & Support. "Women leave everything behind when they flee an abusive home, often arriving at our Emergency Shelter with nothing but the clothes on their backs – this donation helps to provide women with the resources they need to rebuild their lives and create the bright futures they each deserve."
Since 2009, the program has collected more than 14,000 pieces of professional attire for women in need.
"Many of the women served by our community partners have suffered unspeakable abuse at the hand of someone they loved," said Crayton Webb, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility for Mary Kay Inc. "As a company dedicated to enriching women's lives, it is our hope that the donations from Mary Kay's Suits for Shelters will help these women as they take steps toward lives free from abuse."
