Alternate Clothing Donating Sites

Suited for Change provides professional clothing and ongoing career education to low-income women to increase their employment and job-retention potential and contribute to their economic independence. Our services are available, at no charge and by referral only, to low-income women who have completed job training and/or readiness programs and are seeking employment.

We accept women’s clothing and accessories which are professional in nature, in excellent condition, not more than two years old, dry cleaned, pressed and hanging on hangers. This includes suits, blazers, skirts, blouses, dresses, dress pants, shoes, belts, purses, jewelry, scarves, and new pantyhose.

In order to successfully obtain employment, our clients must present a professional image during their job interviews. Please help us to help them by considering your donations carefully and donating only those items that you would wear to a job interview.

To minimize any inconveniences our donation requirements may cause, we have compiled a list of additional non-profit organizations that accept clothing donations and could benefit from your generosity. Please contact these organizations directly for more information about their specific needs.
