WFFS Hosts Annual “Dress for Success” Event

Providing Suits and Business Attire for 50+ Transitioning Military Active-Duty and Veterans

Warrior Foundation Freedom Station will host their annual “Dress for Success” event that provides free suits and causal business attire for 50+ pre-registered transitioning male and female Marine Active-Duty from Wounded Warrior Battalion West, along with select military veterans, at Macy’s Fashion Valley in San Diego, CA on March 28, 2024.

The “Dress for Success” program was created in 2006 by Sandra Lehmkuhler, CEO/Founder of the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, a non-profit foundation that assists transitioning military with housing, mentorship programs and quality-of-life items.

During the past 18 years, the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station has provided more than 1,000 Active Duty and Retired Warriors with more than $650,000 in business attire to help them transition into establishing new careers, launching entrepreneurial endeavors, or starting educational programs in their civilian life. Each Warrior will have the opportunity to select approximately $600 in business attire including a combination of suits, shirts, ties or pant-suit, skirts, dresses and/or accessories.

“Since we created the program in 2006, our goal at Warrior Foundation Freedom Station is to arm a Warrior with a ‘Fresh New Uniform’ and encouragement as they transition into the civilian world,” said Lehmkuhler. “Our Warriors need a ‘hand up and not a handout’ and to look and feel their best as they transition into this new chapter in their lives.”

In addition to their new clothes, each Warrior will receive a professional photo head shot in their new apparel to use for career services with LinkedIn or other professional channels.
