In celebration of International Women's Week, Arm & Hammer Laundry has sponsored Your Hour, Her Power, a global campaign by international nonprofit Dress for Success. The 2021 campaign celebrates groundbreaking women in leadership positions as inspiration and mentorship are needed most now to help empower the 5.3 million unemployed women.
Dress for Success is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating and helping women, many of whom are facing underemployment, chronic unemployment, or struggling with their economic situations. For these women, Dress for Success provides the resources to succeed during this unprecedented time.
Arm & Hammer Laundry is donating $60,000 to support the campaign and is encouraging women to participate and take the pledge, which calls on individuals to donate the equivalent of one hour of pay to help women displaced by the pandemic ensure their economic stability. The money raised will help Dress for Success provide women access to programs that focus on job search support, financial literacy education, health and wellness, and entry to a professional network and safe community.
“We’re thrilled to sponsor this year’s Your Hour, Her Power campaign and support Dress for Success as they continue to celebrate women and provide them with inspirational guidance and resources to help them succeed, even during this challenging time,” said Joanne Lesaca, brand manager for Arm & Hammer Laundry. “Women are facing overwhelming economic and career-related challenges, which is why Arm & Hammer Laundry is encouraging others to share their powerful experiences to help unify women and propel them forward.”
