Bridge to Success relies on clothing donations to ensure we have the inventory to dress our clients for work. Our clients will often leave our center to go directly to an interview. Remember, we serve men, women and young adults.
We have a special need for plus size clothing for women and big and tall clothing for men.

Bridge to Success Needs For Women
Bridge to Success Needs For Men
We are now accepting Winter business professional and business casual clothing, coats and accessories (shoes, ties, handbags, belts, cuff links, scarves, hosiery, briefcases, jewelry, etc.). Unused cosmetics and travel toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, and lotion) are needed too.
When donating to Bridge to Success, please make sure that clothing is clean, in good condition (no rips, tears, broken zippers, etc.), in season (summer), of current or timeless design, and on a hanger. This ensures that it will arrive at our center without wrinkles. (Some of our participants do not have irons, and they cannot afford dry-cleaning). Many times our participants leave our center and go directly to a job interview.
If you have experienced a bed bug infestation, Bridge to Success cannot accept your clothing. Thanks for understanding!
It is important that the size be noted – especially on a man's suit.
Couture/Designer/Vintage Clothing: We would love your couture, designer, vintage and evening wear clothing and accessories! While this clothing is not appropriate for our participants, Bridge to Success sells it in our resale store, The Bottomline, to support programming expenses. Your support is appreciated.
Tax Receipts: All donations are tax deductible. We do not need an itemized listing of your donations. When you donate you will receive a receipt for your tax file
Refer to the Donation Schedule for dates convenient for you.
