June 1-July 25 - Pause on Clothing Donations.
Our San Francisco office will be temporarily closed this summer. This closure is part of a much-needed refresh after more than 15 years in our current space. We are excited to update our facilities and continue to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for the incredible women we serve.
Clothing Donations - on pause June 1-July 25
We cannot accepting any clothing donations from June 1-July 25. This includes Corporate Drive Drop Offs.
We know how much our community values the opportunity to contribute, and we will gladly resume accepting clothing donations once we reopen.
Donations During The Pause
Corporate Groups can still sign up for a drive by emailing clothingdonations@sfdress.org and we can organize a drop-off date once we are re-opened.
While we cannot accept clothing donations at this time, we would greatly appreciate your continued support through financial contributions. Your donations are crucial in helping us reopen the Career Wardrobe in August, fully stocked and ready to empower more women on their journey to success.
In addition, you can donate items to the Community Thrift Store and note “Dress for Success San Francisco” as your preferred charity. If the items sell, we will get a small financial donation.
Donation Drives
Holding a donation drive can be a creative and collaborative team-building exercise. But most importantly, it is a way to support women in your community and to help them take a crucial first step towards a better future.
For corporate donation drives, we require a $750 monetary donation to support the running of this Career Wardrobe Program - this includes the cost of sorting and processing donations as well as helps us to purchase needed clothing that is not donated.
Questions and to request an application, please email
clothingdonations@sfdress.org.
Please note, due to office renovations we are unable to receive clothing donations from June 1- August 15, 2024.
Most of the apparel we provide to our clients comes to us from other women in the community, and hosting a donation drive is a great way to support Dress for Success. You can plan a campaign at your company, school, place of worship or association. Or you may want to simply gather together a group of friends who want to make a difference.
Your donation drive can collect new or gently used suits, other work-appropriate separates, shoes, handbags, accessories and unopened cosmetics and toiletries.
