What started with a single blazer in the trunk of a car has become one of the Lehigh Valley’s most powerful stories of community-driven change.

In this episode of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, host George Wacker sits down with Sarah Barrett, Executive Director of YWCA Allentown, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Perfect Fit, a workforce empowerment program that’s helped more than 13,000 women step into new careers with confidence.

Topics include:

  • How The Perfect Fit began as a grassroots effort

  • Why clothing is just a tool, and the real heart is community support

  • Career workshops, tech certifications, and professional mentoring

  • What’s next for the next 25 years

  • TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!
