Women Raise Funds to Help Locals Get Jobs

The 5th annual Ladies' Night Out helped support local women looking for jobs.

Shopping for jewlery, drinks and sweets, local women helped support Dress for Success, an organization that aims to help unemployed women find jobs by providing them with professional clothing. 

Liz O'Neil, a board member of Dress for Success, said more than 200 people attended the event, raising more than $20,000 for the organization. 

Local businesses from Shrewsbury, Grafton, Worcester and elsewhere donated food, liquor, and other items to the event, which was held in the Audi Shrewsbury dealership.
