When preparing your donation, think about what you would wear to an interview – that’s precisely what we’re looking for! We are so grateful for the generosity of our donors, but due to limited boutique space, we ask all donors to review and adhere to the following guidelines:

1. We only accept donations on the third Saturday of the month by appointment only, and during our donation drives.

2. You can book an appointment to donate on the third Saturday of the month on the calendar below.

3. A sign-up link will be posted below approximately 2 weeks before the next donation drive date. We hold a drive-up and drop-off donation drive twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. Please only sign up for one time slot to allow others to donate as well.
