FAQs

Do I need an appointment to donate clothes?

Yes, appointments are required. Donations are accepted on Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Please note that for the health, safety and welfare of our staff, clients, and volunteers, we cannot make exceptions to our donation procedures at this time. We appreciate your understanding and support of Dress for Success Palm Beaches.

What are your clothing donation requirements?

To ensure our clients look and feel their best, we ask that donated items be freshly dry-cleaned or laundered, ironed, and on hangers. We ask that clothing is work-appropriate, suitable for job interviews, and not more than a few years old. Once a client secures a job, she is invited back to choose a full week of professional attire to begin her new position looking and feeling confident.
