Ministry program plans new expansion

YOUNGSTOWN — As Elder Rose Carter looks around the empty room in the lower level of St. John Episcopal Church, she wells up with emotions about her future plans to transform it into the new headquarters for her ever-expanding Dress to Succeed ministry.

Carter, president of the ministry, decided that her expanding nonprofit organization needed a larger location, but she wanted to make sure that the location was in a centrally located church with ample parking.

She found St. John at 323 Wick Ave. to be the best candidate.

“What a great place to have a community to come to be able to get clothing,” she said.

The ministry provides clothes from professional to casual to men and women who are entering the job market, college, vocational or training schools, or simply in need – all free of charge.
