Clothing and Product Donations

Our Clothing Donation Drop offs day is:

Monday between 9am and 3pm at our premises 222b Barry Parade, Fortitude Valley!!

Please remember to be mindful of the clothing you are donating, so we can ensure our clients feel good and ready to face their next step with dignity and respect!

ASK yourself:

  • Would I give this clothing to my best friend to wear to an interview?

  • Would I be proud to pass this on with dignity and respect?

  • Is the clothing in excellent condition, modern, contemporary?

Thank you for your understanding and support towards our most vulnerable community members!

Please note there is strictly no leaving donations outside the office and styling boutique outside of these days and hours. Thank you for your understanding and support!

We gratefully accept donations of all good quality clothing (casual, work, and formal) from individuals, companies, and retailers. We ask that clothing donations be new or in near-new condition, and toiletries and make-up donations be new and unopened please.

Donations of workwear, toiletries, and make-up are gifted to our clients, as part of our clothing and styling services.

Donations of casual, formal, and designer wear are sold as part of our social enterprise activities, including our retail store, which is open to the community. Funds raised from these activities are critical to enabling us to run our programs and help more clients.

We are always looking for new fashion partners (fashion retailers / brands) to donate their unsold stock at the end of the season. We are able to provide a donation acknowledgement receipt for all donations.

We recommend other forms of textile recycling for this type of clothing. We are also unable to accept shoe boxes or hangers, as we do not have the facilities to recycle these items.
