Mt. Airy native Danielle Townsend is on a mission to outfit you for success. As a program coordinator for Career Wardrobe, a 21-year-old nonprofit situated on Spring Garden Street, she and her colleagues utilize clothing donations and professional development to empower and prepare unemployed women — and recently men — to reenter the workplace.

“Shauna and I work closely together to figure out our inventory and visual merchandising,” said Townsend. “We have something for everyone—no matter what’s in your pocket. You can come here and find a Moschino blazer thag normally runs for $300, shop mid-level brands like J.
