Donate Women's Business Clothes
There are charitable organizations that will take women's business suits and separates to distribute to the needy. One of the best known is Dress for Success, a service that not only clothes low-income women for interviews, but assists them in job skills and placement. Of course, Goodwill and Salvation Army also accept women's business clothing for their programs and thrift stores.
Instructions
1. Visit the website for the charity and locate the nearest donation center. For Dress for Success, there is a page about donating clothing through their neighborhood affiliate service branches. Goodwill and Salvation Army also have location pages on their sites.
2. Consult the list of items that the charity accepts. Some charities also include a "Wish List" of much-needed items and sizes. Try to fill these requests first. Plus sizes are in high demand in most locations.
3. Take the clothing to the dry cleaner, or launder and iron the items. All pieces should be clean, in current style and ready to go, with no repairs necessary.
4. Make an itemized list of garments. These charities will generate a receipt at the time of donation for the value of the clothing, and require a list of items for this purpose.
5. Call the donation center before you arrive to make certain that they're ready to receive your donation. Some locations may stop donations shortly before closing, or may not accept them on certain days. A quick call will avoid a wasted trip.
