Introducing Our Final 2025 Suit Society Honoree

Working Wardrobes is proud to honor Kim Stemper as one of this year’s Suit Society honorees. Kim has spent more than a decade shining a spotlight on generosity in Orange County through her role as a philanthropy writer and columnist with the Orange County Business Journal.

Kimberly’s Journey

Kimberly’s journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when determination is met with opportunity and support. After experiencing incarceration, Kimberly transitioned into supportive housing through HealthRIGHT 360’s FOTEP program in Pomona. With a strong desire to create a better future, she enrolled in Working Wardrobes’ 8-week career readiness cohort. Through the program, she gained not only essential job skills but also a renewed sense of confidence and a supportive community.

We are proud to spotlight First Bank not only for their generosity, but also for their values. Their commitment to strengthening communities extends far beyond financial services—it’s about investing in people, restoring confidence, and opening doors to opportunity.
