They were super nice and super helpful and they did their best to give me what I needed and even accommodated when they gave me stuff that I brought back cuz I didn't want it to go to waste cuz I wouldn't wear it and they even help me get something that I would wear so I definitely very much appreciate them they were very useful

Wow. SO many options, these ladies really are providing an INCREDIBLE service to their community. And they just opened up a new location in Salem, so if you are in need and are down that way, check them out! You will need a federal from a social worker or a partnering agency to shop, but they clothing choices are size, age, and style inclusive. The staff is diverse as well and they really seem to listen to the wants and needs of the women who come by in need. Be careful about parking though, we saw someone get towed from a private lot across the street! So street parking only here!

Such a wonderful group of women! I received 5 Items of clothing, all professional clothing for job interviews. As well as a pair of shoes a purse and 5 pieces of jewelry and a bra. I also had my hair layered by their hairdresser, who did an amazing job and he has an amazing personality as well! They also have a makeup artist that comes in and does makeup and you get to keep the items she used as well! I didn't personally meet the makeup artist or get my makeup done, but that's pretty amazing! I honestly wasn't expecting such an amazing experience! These people really make you feel welcome and are very helpful!

They take work appropriate clothing. Business, business casual, jewelry, accessories, scarves, belts. Hats, purses, shoes, pants, skirts, dresses, blouses, pantsuits, jackets, coats,suits, etc... they also accept toiletry donations. Thank you for considering donating to them. They are a great organization. They help women prepare for job interviews, and after they land the job they give them 5 more pieces of clothing to make 5 different outfits for work. They also offer class with support group that gives women more clothes for each week of the program they complete. Classes in job retention, workplace etiquette, job referrals, etc. They also have programs to get eye glasses- complete with exam from local eye doctors. Great program

Just saw my answer in the reviews. thanks. Will be donating on the Saturday.

Is there a national organization? if so, what is their address? (I made a cash donation through a mail order company but they don't show an address. I need info for charitable tax deduction.) Thanks for your help.

Hi, I just came back into society and desperatly need a whole wardrobe, some for a professional career also and I am broke. Do I need an appointment or may just come in?

Do you pick up clothes donations

Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to pick up clothing. We wish we could!

Does this organization need volunteers and, if so, in what capacity?

myra wiklund | Aug 17, 2019
Amy G | Aug 17, 2019

Dress for Success can always use more volunteers; see their website at www.dressforsuccess.org for more information. I have been a volunteer for almost 16 years and every day there is a gift. :)
