CLOTHING DRIVE DROP OFFS ARE OPERATING WITH LIMITED HOURS
Support unemployed and underemployed Triangle women by hosting a clothing drive with your company, organization, club, or friends! New and gently used work-appropriate women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories are used to suit clients for interviews and raise money to support career development services.

planning your drive
Please note that all clothing drives must be arranged with staff first. To start this process, please complete the form below.
Because we have a small staff, limited space for storage, and rely so heavily on the time and resources of our volunteers, we charge a donation fee to host a drive to ensure that we maximize your donations to the best of our capabilities. Read more here.
