Clothing Donations
Looking to donate clothing? No appointment is needed.
Please bring donations to one of our scheduled Clothing Donation Days listed below. We are unable to schedule individual clothing donation appointments.
When you donate clothing to Dress for Success Triangle, you’re giving more than workplace attire. You’re giving a woman the confidence, dignity, and readiness she needs to take the next step in her career. Every blazer, pair of shoes, and handbag becomes a tangible tool she can wear into an interview, a first day at work, or a life-changing promotion.
Your contribution directly fuels economic mobility for women across Triangle and Eastern North Carolina. By providing high-quality, work-appropriate clothing, you help women step into new roles, support their families, and build long-term stability. Thank you for turning your generosity into opportunity and for helping transform a woman’s career and future.
