At upcoming winter/spring programs, we will be collecting donations of lightly used womens' business clothing and accessories for Dress for Success.  Dress for Success is an international nonprofit that provides business attire for women in need who are entering the workforce.  More information about the organization can be found on their website at www.dressforsuccess.org or its local affiliates:   https://midfairfieldcounty.dressforsuccess.org/get-involved/donate/

Dress for Success accepts donations of lightly used business-appropriate clothing and accessories for women, including the following types of items:  blouses, pant and skirt suits, dress jackets, dress pants, dress shoes, scarves, sweaters or sweater sets, jewelry, briefcases and handbags. Clothing and scarves must be on hangers, shoes and jewelry should be in boxes if possible, and all items must be clean.

Please consider giving your closets a once-over for items that you no longer wear or need, that could be of use to others.  This is also a good opportunity to contact recently-retired colleagues who may have business attire that they no longer need.

Dress for Success is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all donations are tax-deductible.
