OPT Gift - $50

Give a gift to a women in a domestic violence shelter

OPT provides gifts filled with cosmetics and beauty essentials to victims of abuse and sexual assault. Each gift is a carefully and thoughtfully assembled and comes with a handwritten note of encouragement. 

This simple, tangible extension of love is our way of reminding women they are not defined by the lies of the lives they have endured and that there is always HOPE.

Why “pretty things?”

In a search for what to wear to a job interview, themuse.com states, “While your outfit definitely matters, the interviewer will spend the majority of their time looking at your face. So, just as you dress well, you’ll want to make sure that you’re giving the right impression, by wearing makeup that shows you’re professional, polished, and confident.

When asking the question, “Do your looks matter when applying for jobs? The short answer is yes. How you dress, behave and groom yourself instantly feeds into the hiring manager’s judgment of you as an individual, or, more importantly, a potential employee.” according to mycareersfuture.gov.
