The members of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Church of Scientology opened their closets to gather clothing to help Covenant House California’s Hollywood residents look like pros at job interviews. Most of the youth were in the county Social Services system, but when they turn 18 years old, they are expected to make their own way, which is not something they are all necessarily able to do immediately and without some guidance. Covenant House provides this help and support.

Auxiliary member Sue Gaddis of Tujunga, who has chaired the project for several years now, gathered suits, sport coats, ties, dresses, sweaters ties and shoes for the young Covenant House residents. Said Gaddis: “We were thrilled to help Covenant House. This is an organization that is often the last place for runaway or homeless kids to turn for real help. Covenant House not only provides shelter and service to these kids, but by encouraging them to work, they also help provide self-esteem. Any contribution the Auxiliary can make to that is well worth it.”
