Bridge to Success relies on clothing donations to ensure we have the inventory to dress our participants for work. Our participants 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.
We are now accepting spring 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 (winter), 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 can not afford dry-cleaning). Many times our participants leave our center and go directly to a job interview.
It is important that the size be noted – especially on men’s suits.
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 holds special couture/designer/vintage clothing sales four times a year to help support programming expenses. Your support is appreciated. If you need pickup, please contact us!
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.
