Dress for Success Cincinnati is excited to announce The Care Center of Loveland as our new satellite location for our StyleHER program. We will be launching this new location at our Grand Opening event TOMORROW, Wednesday, March 9 from 3-5 at The Care Center. We are excited to begin offering all of our styling services at The Care Center this week.
For the past 15 years, the Care Center has been assisting families by helping them remove the barriers and build the resources needed to thrive in life. Located at 11020 South Lebanon Road in Loveland, The Care Center will continue to uphold this mission by offering DFSC styling services to residents of the Loveland and neighboring communities.
According to Data USA, the largest demographic living in poverty in Loveland is currently women ages 25-34. Our hope is that through this partnership, we will be able to tend to that community of women living at or below the poverty line and offer them services that will nurture their employment mobility and help them to thrive.
A strong supporter of this mission is Greg Knake, Executive Director of The Care Center, who recognized the opportunity for Dress for Success Cincinnati and The Care Center to help more women through a partnership early on.
“Our mission is about helping people thrive in life, and one critical way we do that is by helping them reenter the workforce,” Greg said. “We also have a high value for not trying to recreate the wheel, and we instantly identified that Dress for Success Cincinnati already had a model that was successful. It is a perfect fit to incorporate Dress for Success Cincinnati’s services in what we do.”
Through this act of ‘not trying to recreate the wheel’ we have formed a partnership that can utilize the successes of both organizations to further benefit women. The Care Center of Loveland is a state-of-the-art resource center offering beneficial services such as childcare and transportation that help to eliminate major barriers that stand in the way of women receiving this support.
As childcare is a service that is not currently offered by Dress for Success Cincinnati, we can now offer it to our clients at The Care Center’s location. Not only have we expanded our range of women we are able to serve, but we have expanded the accessibility for women to utilize our services as well.
The added benefit of transportation services makes this new location even more accessible and exciting. “We want to be a resource for people who want to take advantage of Dress for Success Cincinnati’s resource but may not have the reliable transportation to access the Norwood location,” Greg said. “We are excited to offer Dress for Success Cincinnati’s resources in areas like Milford, Goshen and Loveland.”
In addition to offering DFSC styling services at The Care Center, the new satellite location will also offer similar career assistance to that of Dress for Success Cincinnati’s Norwood office. Just as the DFSC office has partnered with Cincinnati Works to provide help with resume building, job searching and more via an on-site Cincinnati Works representative, The Care Center will offer the same opportunity for clients.
“We also offer career development resources through Cincinnati works and even work with the same Cincinnati works representative,” Greg said. “So, clients will have that same opportunity when they come here to be styled.”
We are thrilled to launch this new satellite location and to be working with Greg and his team at The Care Center to offer our services, along with the added benefits that come from this new location to more women in surrounding areas.
