👔 Where to donate professional and interview clothes
Suits and professional clothing help job seekers walk into interviews and new jobs with confidence. Career clothing closets and job programs often need these more than general thrift stores do.
Before you go
- Clean, current styles in good condition are the most useful.
- Wash or dry-clean items and hang suits together as a set.
- Dress shoes, belts, ties and work bags are often needed as well.
- Call ahead; many career closets need specific sizes or men's versus women's clothing.
26 local places we've checked take professional and interview clothes, plus 1 national programs.
National and mail-in programs
These take donations from anywhere in the country, by mail, at partner drop-off points, or through local chapters. Check each one's rules first.
Nationwide
Dress for Success
- How: Drop off at a local Dress for Success affiliate; the national site links to a clothing donation location finder.
- Rules: Each affiliate sets its own accepted items and hours; call the local affiliate to confirm what it needs. The national site's detail pages could not be read, so only the home page was confirmed.
- Professional clothing for women entering the workforce (through local affiliates)
