Charities are using social media more and more these days and rightly so. It is a great of making themselves known to people who may not otherwise hear about them. @DFSAKNZ is one charity doing just that. Dress for success is a not for profit organisation which provides interview suits, confidence boosts, and career development to low-income women in over 75 cities worldwide, and @DFSAKNZ is the Twitter account for the Auckland branch.
Their Twitter bio reads:
I, personally, like that. It speaks volumes to me. They don’t just provide clothing to these women and send them on their way, they also provide a network of support. And that support can make all the difference in the lives of the women who use Dress for Success.
But what would a not for profit possibly have to tweet about, you may well ask?? Well, lots. Their timeline is filled with lots of feel good quotes like these for example:
"Dream and give yourself permission to envision a You that you choose to be. Joy Page #quote #dressforsuccess"
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt #quote #dressforsuccess"
They also tweet pictures and stories about those who volunteer for them and will more than likely tweet you back if you tweet them.
"The mission of Dress for Success Auckland is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support"

There is not much more I can say about @DFSAKNZ, except that if you choose to follow them, your timeline will be much brighter for it, hopefully you will learn something and I am sure a tweet or two will put a smile on your face. Oh and Ladies, if you need to clear out your wardrobe, but don’t know what to do with your excess, Dress for Success are always looking for clothing donations. Tweet them to find out how you can do this.
Now, I am going to leave you with my favorite quote from their timeline:
"It was only a sunny smile, & little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night & made the day worth living. #quote"
Did that put a smile on your face? I know it did mine.
