Dress for Success Quad Cities strives to make sure the women we serve look and feel their best when going to a job interview in order to give them every opportunity to make a great first impression. Image Coaches not only assist women in selecting a complete interview outfit including a handbag, shoes, and accessories, they also provide one-on-one attention, style and presentation advice, and confidence-boosting support.

When you donate to Dress for Success Quad Cities every piece of your donation will help someone who needs it. If it is not quite right for, or currently needed in the boutique, your clothing might end up in one of our FAB Friday Sales, or as part of our annual fashion fundraiser, Recycle the Runway. Our sales give women in the Quad Cities a low-cost opportunity to bolster their professional wardrobe.

Fill-A-Bag (FAB) Friday Sales and Recycle the Runway help raise critical funds for our programs and services that provide career and professional development resources to women throughout the Quad Cities who are unemployed, underemployed, transitioning back into the workforce or into a new industry, who are looking to advance in their careers, or wanting to gain new skills.

Whatever clothing is not used in the boutique, sales, or fundraisers is picked up by Salvation Army.

Preparing Your Donation:

• Clothing should be in new or nearly new condition.
• All items should be freshly laundered or dry-cleaned.
• Items should be folded in boxes, tubs or shopping bags.
• Items should be no more than five years old (for fashion appropriateness)
• Clothing in trash bags will not be accepted for safety reasons.

*Please note, we DO NOT accept donations of hangers without clothing on them.*
