And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. (Nelson Mandela)
Let's show them we care
1% of our population is protecting 99%. There are 1.8 million women who have served the military armed forces.
Do more by helping a Woman In Service be everything she can be
There isn't a person anywhere who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can. (Henry Ford)
Reach for the hand of a Woman Who Serves Our Country
If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm ...AND you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." (Audrey Hepburn)
Our exciting beauty events are featured in first class salons and spas all over the country. They are designed to show our appreciation for all the women connected to life in the military. A makeover mission "deploys" a select mix of deserving women for a day of beauty, pampering and personal styling advice.
Our Makeovers are so much more than “Queen For A Day” Pampering. Here is what one female veteran says about her experience:
“My new job is a great part in thanks to Shining Service! I met Theresa, who works for JP Morgan, at the last Red Door event. We exchanged contact information at the event and I expressed to her that I was seeking employment. I followed up with her, and she connected me with one of the recruiters at Morgan, I submitted my resume, went on an interview, and the rest is history! I will be starting at JP Morgan in May.
So many, many, many, thanks to Shining Service for creating not only an environment for us to honor veterans but also a space for veterans to connect and network. If it hadn't been for Shining Service, I may not have ever met Theresa.”
