Resident receives a fabulous makeover on Fox5


In July, New Endeavors by Women teamed up with The Capital Area Food Bank and their “Ambassador Against Hunger” Paul Wharton for a beauty makeover of a NEW resident, televised on Fox 5 DC. Wharton is a renowned local lifestyle and beauty expert, and the Capital Area Food Bank is a long-time partner in our work. The beauty makeover recipient was Kim Caruthers, a resident in our New Transitions program, and an active job seeker at the time. Kim’s makeover included hair, skin care, makeup, a custom designed dress, jewelry designed by Wharton, and beautiful new shoes. 

The makeover helped Kim put her best foot forward while searching for employment. Following the segment, Kim was offered paid training and a paid position at the nursing home where she was volunteering! We are delighted to share in Kim’s success, and grateful to our friends at The Capital Area Food Bank for making her makeover possible.
