Who
We Are
Fashionkind exists to support women in recovery, and build their confidence and self-esteem, by providing great quality clothing at no cost, assisted by caring and committed volunteers who offer personalized service and interaction.
Our Mission:
Our mission is more than clothes – our committed volunteers provide personal service and uplifting interaction in a unique boutique-like atmosphere, focused on helping women arrive at a level of self-confidence that enables them to improve their lives and achieve independence. The increased self-esteem that comes from securing and maintaining employment not only helps individual women, but contributes to stable families, which, in turn, improves the viability and safety of our communities.
Our Founder
Johannah Warren, the founder of Fashionkind, modeled this organization after Dress for Success, which had a presence in San Diego until 2017. It was time for a break from the stressful business world, and she looked for an organization that she could get behind only to find many such programs lacking and very slow to assist women. Recognizing that there is a very short window before many women go down a path that is often unrecoverable, Fashionkind is geared to fill in the cracks for those who want to quickly get back into the workforce.
Why We Do What We Do
The Challenge
Many clients leave their crises with only the clothing on their backs. We are here to help them restock those basic necessities free of charge. Through generous donations we make sure these women and children have what they need to to rebuild their lives and restore their dignity.
Building Confidence
One of the keys to relapse prevention is self-sufficiency. Women in recovery have specific barriers to re-entry into the workforce, both external and internal. We help remedy this by supporting the restoration of their self-confidence.
