In 2009, seven Ottawa women came together to launch a Dress for Success affiliate in the National Capital Region.  In January 2010, after several months of hard work, Dress for Success Worldwide approved our business plan, granting Dress for Success Ottawa National Capital Region official affiliate status! We are thrilled that soon we will be able to serve women in the National Capital Region.

Please note that Dress for Success Ottawa cannot accept clothing donations at this time, as we do not yet have an operational facility, but for the month of September, the Rideau Centre is hosting a clothing drive in support of Dress for Success Ottawa.  If you are in the downtown area, feel free to drop off business appropriate clothing and accessories at the Customer Service desk, 3rd floor.   

If that is not convenient for you we would ask that you hold on to your clothing donations for just a little while longer, we are hoping to have a drop off location in October.  Thank you!  


Dress for Success Ottawa is welcoming volunteers. We anticipate beginning to serve clients mid-October 2010. Therefore, at this time, we are particularly recruiting direct service volunteers (i.e. wardrobe consultants). Opportunities to host a suit drive etc. will be available in the near future. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete this volunteer application. If you have any questions, please contact volunteer@dressforsuccessottawa.ca.
