The TRAK Companies—TRAK Legal, TRAK Services and TRAK Records and Library—have a
long history of giving back to the DC community through various charitable organizations
and events.
At the beginning of 2009, we joined forces to support a local charity, Suited for
Change. Founded in 1992, Suited for Change provides professional clothing and ongoing
career and life skills education to low-income women to increase their employment
and job retention potential. The services are available at no charge and by referral
only to low-income women who have completed job readiness programs and are seeking
employment.
Partnering with this organization is in alignment not only with our expertise in
staffing and recruitment, but also with our capabilities in career coaching, job
searching, and developing interview skills specific to the DC employment market.
We are hopeful that our time, donations and resources will help to make a difference
to the clients of Suited for Change. For more information about Suited for Change,
please visit www.suitedforchange.org.
Our organization is also pleased to announce our new charity sponsorship with Teardrops
to Rainbows. Teardrops to Rainbows is a local organization based in Fairfax, Virginia
which provides support, services and financial assistance to area children with
cancer and their families. This organization plays an active role in helping families
through the many stages of treatment for a life-threatening illness. We are very
proud to be a partner with this organization and to be able to dedicate time and
resources in order to improve the lives of those involved. For more information
on Teardrops to Rainbows and to learn about opportunities for involvement, please
visit their website at www.teardropstorainbows.org
