Give back.

Grow your network.

Have fun doing it!

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.
