Do you have professional clothing that you no longer wear – wrong color, career change, just not your style? Help us stock our career wear closet for women who are looking to re-enter the workforce or step up their career, particularly those who are ALICE – Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. They’re the women in our community who are struggling to afford the basics – there’s no room in the budget for a new interview outfit. Let’s help lift them up with a full outfit. A fresh start. A powerful sense of “I belong.”

Do you have big dreams for the future… but don’t know where to start?

Have you ever caught yourself saying:

• “I don’t have enough money yet to save… or even think about buying a home.”
• “I don’t really understand investing, so I’ll wait.”
• I’ll start after I pay everything off.”

You’re not alone. Most women have had one or all of these thoughts.

But here’s the truth we don’t say out loud enough:

Waiting is the most expensive decision you can make.

Join us for a delicious way to give back! On Thursday, April 16, 2026, Five Guys locations across Pierce County are donating 20% of proceeds to support United Way of Pierce County.

Poverty in America is changing—and so must our response.

Dignity Starts With Feeling Clean

Feeling clean affects how you move through the world.
It shapes confidence, health, and how others respond to you.

A hygiene kit can change someone’s day by removing one quiet barrier—the moment before an appointment, the walk into a shelter, the hesitation that comes from already feeling exposed.
