If you want to take advantage of the “Dress for Success” (DFS) Brookhaven program but have a hard time with transportation getting to Town Hall, you’re in luck thanks to their new mobile unit.

Dress for Success Brookhaven unveiled its new “Mobile Career Center” and Boutique at Brookhaven Town Hall.

Sponsored in part by the Town of Brookhaven and Capital One Bank, the new vehicle will provide immediate resources to those in need across Long Island who may be unable to visit the DFS boutique at Brookhaven Town Hall.

The Mobile Career Center and Boutique features a fitting room, permanent wall racks for clothing, a career center desk outfitted with computers and more. The mobile career center will provide women with access to professional clothing and career resources.

The Dress for Success Mobile Career Center will travel throughout Long Island to reach partner agencies, universities, street fairs and more to provide women with access to professional clothing and career resources. Women come from over 200 referral agencies including homeless shelters, domestic violence agencies, other not for profit agencies, social services organizations, colleges, and universities. Currently, Dress for Success Brookhaven is the only Dress for Success affiliate on Long Island.

The DFS brick and mortar location is at Brookhaven Town Hall, 1 Independence Hill Farmingville, New York, 11738. You can call them during shop hours between 9:30 AM and 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday
