Desert Best Friend's Closet educates and empowers our clients for success in employment and life. Testimonials "Oh, I'm liking this. I feel good. I feel like I can get a job." - Margarita, La Quinta "I was truly surprised by how helpful the staff was. They advised me how to put outfits together--put tops with pants I never would have worn together, but their advice was spot on! I really know I will make a great first impression at my job interview next week. Thank you!!!" - Corrine E., Indio "I have never worn a suit before let alone knew how to tie a tie. Thank you for helping me. I feel like a man today." - Robert B., Palm Springs "I am very excited about my dress! This is a huge help to the females who would have a hard time affording a dress otherwise." - Chelise M. "I just wanted to thank you and Desert's Best Friend for the beautiful gown you provided me with for the upcoming military ball. I appreciate the time that your lovely volunteers took to help me select the one that was "just right for me." Every person that has seen the gown is absolutely in love with it too! Thanks again for supporting military wives. Your organization is amazing!" - Jenny B. "I just wanted to say thank you all so much! I came for be ball gown giveaway you offered. I am a plus size girl and there were so many options for me, which I have not found elsewhere. I usually dread looking for a dress, this year I can walk in feeling confident and beautiful. If I didn't find a dress, I would not be going to the ball.. I cannot express my gratitude, You were so, so helpful and so nice! I appreciate it all!" - Kate B.
