Tucson DUer's, I have an apartment now, but now I need...

cloths to go job hunting in. Big problem, no money. Where can a person go to get help in that department? Right now I am just looking for something that pays so I can have money to look for a Television production job. But the cloths I have now is battle scared from having to live on the streets so bad I won't even get looked at for a greasy spoon job. Any ideas?

They have a location in Phoenix. I know that may not be ideal but, if you can get there, they can possibly help.

I really like Savers, we try to go to the one on east Broadway when we get to town - it's across from Park Mall, but there are other location. Also Buffalo Exchange it a higher end used retailer. there is a good thrift store on 4th Ave, and I am pretty sure some more used sellers down there as well.

There may be something like the other poster mentioned - try calling Information and Referal Services and ask (they may have other useful leads.

Freecycle was started in Tucson, be sure to get on their listserve - good for furniture and other stuff as well. Craigslist.

should be a first stop ...

It's supported by the YWCA and if memory serves me, the clothing is free (or on a sliding scale).
