We are so grateful to Anh & Chi and their partner restaurant, Good Thief, for their incredible support through the Reservation by Donation program. They raised $27,450 in support of our free, year-round programs – from Dressing Services and career development to leadership, mentorship, and community connection through the Working Women’s Group. This generosity directly strengthens the economic independence and confidence of the women and gender-diverse individuals we serve across the Lower Mainland. Thank you, Anh & Chi. Your support helps empower possibility for every client who walks through our doors.
