clothing donations | | We gratefully accept donations of suits (no more than 3 years old) - cleaned and on hangers. Our clients will want to wear their outfit to an interview the next day, so clean, current, stylish clothing is important! We need suits for clients aged 19 to 30, sizes 0 to 28. We are fortunate to have a number of generous donors who have helped set a high standard for the quality of donations we accept. Our test is whether or not you the donor would feel proud having one of our clients wear the suit to an interview.
We are also grateful for donations of handbags, footwear, outerwear and unopened toiletries and pantyhose/knee highs. In respect for our volunteers' time and our clients' needs, we cannot accept casual or evening wear, or items older than three years in vintage, or in need of repair or cleaning.
