JEFFERSON CITY, MO. -- A Jefferson City non-profit group is celebrating its 10th anniversary of dressing women in interview attire.

"Dreams to Reality" outfits low-income women trying to get back into the workforce.

The women are refereed to the "Dream House" where volunteers help get them ready for their job interview, and the first few days of work.

You can drop off new or gently used women's professional clothing and accessories, including shoes, briefcases and jewelry to the Dream House at 512 Jefferson St. every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. or the first Saturday of every month from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The group also has its annual fundraiser Saturday at the Capitol Plaza Hotel.

Tickets to the "Cowgirl Up" fundraiser are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.
