We are cleaning our closets for Dress for Success!
Our Drop & Shop Dress for Success Donation Drive helps women in our community get back on their feet and into the workforce. This donation drive is extra important since they recently experienced a major theft at the boutique taking computers, clothes etc that not only left them disempowered but also disrupted serving the community of women in need of career services.
We want to help them get back on their feet even more financially and through clothing.
We are going to challenge you to pick a maximum of 6 items that are clean, career focused, spring coats/jackets, shoes: particularly flats and loafers, and always in need of sizes 9.5+ pants, lighter weight material (not wool); all sizes but particularly 16+ and petites blouses, lightweight suits, feminine hygiene pads, makeup toiletries, leggings, tote bags, camisoles. These are the items that they are in most need of.
If you would like to make a monetary donation in lieu of a clothing donation please visit our donation page.
We will be collecting donations for 2 days April 5-6 by 45 minute appointments only.
Note: Although appointments are encouraged drop ins are welcome and you do not need an appointment if you are just dropping off clothes. We will be giving a discount code for those who do not have time/ want to shop in store so that they can use it online only.
So how do you decide what to donate and how should it be donated?
How to Donate
Your donations can be folded in a bag. All items should be separated by commodity within each bag. For example, if you are donating jewellery and shoes, both need to be in their separate bag.
Get Back
This is your opportunity to receive 15% off your purchase on donation day.
To take advantage of our time together you can email us with a wish list the day before your appointment and we can have it set aside for you in the change room on donation day, we will try to put any available sizes aside for your appointment.
We know many of you look forward to this event every season and we thank you so much for your generosity and participation. We wanted to make sure we still support the women in our community as much as we can!
