Clothing can be donated at our boutique on various Saturdays throughout the month. Please call to inquire about the next donation date.
Donations can be made at our boutique located in the Citadel Mall.
Our designated donation day is usually the 2nd Saturday of each month from 10:30a.m. to Noon.
We will accept only professional business style clothing. It must be clean, ready to wear, in style, in season and in good condition, as we do not have a cleaning or altering budget. It would be preferred if the clothing was on hangers. Clothing that we are unable to use in our boutique is donated to another local charity. Because of space constraints, please only donate office appropriate attire.
We do not accept denim or casual clothes.
Dress for Success Policies
The Dress for Success Program requires a referral and appointments are made once the referral is turned in to the Women's Resource Agency. Our boutique is staffed entirely by volunteers and therefore is open only when volunteers are available.
