Has an outfit ever given you the confidence to nail a job interview? Has a good book ever transported you to another world? This month, two local non-profits were hit with fires in the span of two days: Sharp Dressed Man and The Book Thing. Sharp Dressed Man provides professional job-interview attire for men who have been incarcerated or homeless. An electrical fire is forcing the nonprofit to relocate. The Book Thing is a popular free book exchange. Thousands of books were lost to fire and water damage. What lies ahead for these non-profits and the people they serve?
We also speak with the founder and executive director of Casey Cares, a non-profit headquartered in Baltimore that arranges parties, vacations, and other uplifting activities for critically ill children and families throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Nine years ago, a massive fire broke out in the foundation's Violetville offices.
