Helping The Cash-Strapped Dress For Success

By Kerry McNally, WCCO-TV

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- As you get ready for work, you probably aren't even thinking about the clothes you're putting on.

Now, one non-profit organization in town is doing to help people look their best.

Clients there are treated like high-end shoppers, and walk out with so much more than a wardrobe.
