Your wardrobe can change a womAn’s life

Every donated item either goes directly to a client or helps raise critical funds through our preloved clothing sales. Clothing that isn’t suitable for professional wear may be used in these fundraising events – all proceeds go towards keeping our programs accessible for women across WA.

Where to Donate

Please deliver donations in closed bags, boxes, or on hangers you’re happy to part with.

Run a Clothing Drive

Want to take it a step further? Hosting a clothing drive is a powerful way to rally your community and make a lasting difference. We kindly ask for a $250 donation to support our Styling and Career Programs alongside your clothing drive.

Once your donation is made and the drive registered, we’ll provide a Clothing Drive Pack to help make it a success. To get started, contact info@dressforsuccesswa.org.

Workplaces, schools, clubs, and friendship groups are all welcome — it’s a meaningful way to give back together.
