ARS Donates 2650 Garment Items to Dress for Success
Retail value is approximately $285,000
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — American Residential Services (ARS) donated 2650 clothing items to Dress for Success® due to a generous donation from ARS employee Frank Lamitina and his wife Marina.
Marina Lamitina discovered she had stage four Lymphoma cancer while she and Frank Lamitina were living in Florida, where she owned a clothing boutique called Queen Grace. When the couple relocated to New Jersey, so that she could receive treatment, they put her store’s retail into storage. Shortly after, Frank Lamitina took a position at A.J. Perri, an ARS network provider in New Jersey. When ARS held a dress drive, Frank knew what to do with all of their stored merchandise. He and his wife turned over the garments to the ARS corporate office, which facilitated the donation to Dress for Success.
