Dress for Success Dutchess County is currently providing virtual and contact free suiting and career center appointments.

                 

As we come together as a nation to combat the spread of the coronavirus, Community Action Partnership for Dutchess County has decided to limit face-to-face contact between clients, volunteers, and staff as we do our part to slow the spread. 

With this in mind, Dress for Success Dutchess County is offering virtual and/or contact-free career styling and career center appointments. Our SIS Boot Camp and BOSS Club will also convene virtually. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.

Should a client require emergency assistance through services provided by Community Action Partnership, please direct them to call 845-452-5104 to speak with a Family Resource Coordinator, as screening and intakes will be conducted over the phone. 

We remain confident that with everyone’s cooperation and sacrifice we will soon return to normal operations.

 

Be well,
