Mission

Desert Best Friend's Closet's educates and empowers our clients for success in life and employment.

Vision

For all Coachella Valley residents to be economically self-sufficient through employment.

In 2008, Desert Best Friend’s Closet (DBFC) surveyed human resources representatives from 28 companies in the desert and learned that inappropriately dressed job applicants were a problem in the community. Sixty percent of those surveyed confessed that they judge appearance first and eighty-five percent admitted they hesitate to hire someone who is dressed unprofessionally. Over two-thirds estimate that job applicants do not have the financial resources to buy appropriate interview attire or even know what to wear. As a result, DBFC was created to fill an unmet community need.
