I love donating to this organization. The volunteers who deal with the donations are fantastic. It’s important to me that what I donate is given free of charge and goes to people who really need it

It is wonderful what Wear2Start does for woman who need a new outfit to meet their needs in finding a job. It is great a person can give them that help plus have a reason to make more room in their own coloset knowing it is helping others.

All of my clothing was welcomed by the volunteers. They are friendly and grateful. I’m delighted there is a place to take nice clothes one no longer wears or they are too SMALL😢.
