A Miner Miracle is a San Francisco-based non-profit organization that provides professional clothing and image counseling to low-income men, women, and young adults seeking employment.
The purpose of the program is to help disadvantaged people enter the workplace by educating them to present themselves well and with pride. The program -- from providing work-appropriate clothing and grooming services to enhancing presentation skills -- not only improves employment potential but helps build self-esteem.
Since their beginning in 1995, this program has helped over 13,000 people! Also, A Miner Miracle has been recognized with Jefferson Awards in the local area. Even more impressive, A Miner Miracle has had national attention by receiving a "Oprah Angel Network" Award and being featured in LIFE Magazine.
Not everyone has the resources to pursue a career. I'm thankful to A Miner Miracle for truly being a miracle to those who don't have these resources. An outfit and haircut means so much more when it shapes one's future for years to come!
