The season of giving is drawing near but leaving a positive footprint on the world doesn’t have to start and end with the holiday season. 

Kimberly Iozzi, Executive Director of Dress for Success, will discuss ways to get the most out of giving at the next Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 13, entitled “Giving Back: Making a Positive Difference in the World Around Us.” 

Many local organizations, and throughout the greater human community, cannot function without volunteers and donations. Giving time and resources can provide a great sense fulfillment, but learn, also, tips to ensure that you get the greatest return on your investment.  

The meeting will take place at TEAMPAR ParSolutions & ParFlooring (354 Route 206, 2nd Floor, Flanders), from 5:30-8 p.m. Online Registration for Members is $20; Non-Members $25; add $5 at the door.  As part of the Chamber’s special new member drive this fall, for any current Chamber member who brings a potential new member to this event the member and the guest are free! Details are on the registration page.  

Clothing donations for Dress for Success, which strives to offer long-lasting solutions that enable women to break the cycle of poverty, will be collected at the meeting. The non-profit organization is seeking new and gently used winter season shoes, coats, and accessories. They also accept new hair dye, perfume, makeup, lotions, and shampoos, as well as gas, grocery, and Walmart gift cards.
