The Troy Foundation and Clothes that Work are partnering to tackle workforce development in Troy, Ohio.

Two wonderful organizations partnering for a better Troy, Ohio and Miami County.

Last year, we were approached by Clothes That Work about bringing their services to Troy through their new mobile unit. They are on a mission to "...clothe, educate, and empower individuals to prepare them for employment success."

They received a grant during our September grant cycle last year and have now begun helping people prepare for success in Troy. This week we had the chance to see their program in action! Thank you to Clothes That Work for offering this program and all the partners who have come alongside them to help this program succeed.
