to Schedule
What would you wear to a job interview? That is precisely the type of clothing we are looking for to distribute to our clients. Your fabulous suits and other professional apparel could give someone the confidence to enter or return to the workplace, make a great first impression, and land a job that could change their life.
It is important to note that many of our clients go directly to an interview from the boutique, so please ensure that all items donated are freshly laundered and ironed, not more than five years old, and suitable for wearing to job interviews.
We Accept Gently Used, Good Quality Women's or Gender Neutral:
We Don't Accept Anything That Is:
- Unclean
- Torn
- Stained
- Odorous
- Coated in Animal Hair
- Scuffed
Would you wear it proudly to an interview or to work? If the answer is yes, chances are we'll gratefully accept it!

If you'd prefer to mail a check, make it payable to Dress for Success of Western Massachusetts and mail it to us at P.O. Box 15376, Springfield, MA 01115.
IRA Rollover Gifts
For IRA owners who have reached the age of 70½, your required minimum distribution is a great way to make a gift to your favorite charity, including DFSWM! You can contribute up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to DFSWM and avoid paying income taxes on the distribution.
Planned / Legacy Giving
A great way to ensure you can support DFSWM for years to come is by including a legacy gift in your estate planning. This can be as simple as a bequest to DFSWM in your will or naming DFSWM as a beneficiary in a life insurance policy or an investment account.
For more information or to let us know about your intentions of a planned gift to DFSWM, contact Jess Roncarati-Howe.
Corporate Giving
Many local businesses choose to show their support of our clients' empowerment by becoming a sponsor of DFSWM's largest annual fundraising event, Common Threads.
Sponsorship information can be found here or by contacting Jess Roncarati-Howe.
