Share Your Fashion Sense!

So many clothes. We need to organize it better.

Looking to declutter?

Just ready to Spring Clean? We take your professional clothes, gently used, like-new, or still with tags on them; shoes; accessories; and other necessities for interviews and securing employment.

Support Services

LYDIA offers a wide range of services to support families and individuals. If you don’t see something that you need, please contact us to see if we can help.

Life Direction

Bring balance and clarity in the midst of the confusion. Working closely with a certified life coach, cut through all the noise and distress to focus on what really matters. We are solution-focused in our approach, and client-focused in every session. It’s about what you need and what’s best for your family.

Case Management

Worried about navigating all the services out there or not even sure where to begin? Let us help.
We get it. The paperwork is overwhelming. Applying for welfare, gathering information and forms, filling everything out – it can get exhausting. We walk with you through the entire process, even providing written referrals when needed.

Family Crisis

Job loss. Divorce. Sudden move. Death in the family. Children acting out. No more passion in the relationship. You talk, we listen. No judgment.

Suits You

On your way to a job interview and need more professional attire? Maybe you just got a new job and need the appropriate work clothes. We can help.

Necessary Services: Youth Programs

What youth programs do we want to offer? Why do we want to offer youth programs, and how will they differ from what’s already available in Santa Fe? Peer mentorship and tutoring. Youth will help each other, form groups, and support one another on life’s journeys....

Necessary Services: Job Training

The Book Lounge and Cafe So why a bookstore? Because I love reading. Because I want to share my passion for reading and learning. Because meeting, connecting, over a good book – there’s nothing else like it. How will it work? Well, clients who want to work with us...

Why LYDIA, Inc.

I’ve had many questions about “why LYDIA, Inc.?” – “what is the idea?”, “what is the concept?”, “what is the reality?”, “what do we want?”, and “why?”, “why?”, “why?”, “why?”, “why?” In 2002 I was the happiest I could ever be. I got married. In 2003, I got pregnant...
