A seamless process from start to finish! The W2S volunteers are amazing, kind and welcoming, and everything is so well organized! If you’re donating clothes, be sure to take a quick tour of the boutique if you have time. You’ll get a glimpse into what the experience is like for the clients and how empowering and special it must be for them.

I recently had the pleasure of donating to Wear2Start, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. This nonprofit does an incredible job of collecting clothing donations to empower women in their career journeys.

The volunteers were truly amazing—kind, caring, and genuinely committed to their mission. They made the donation process seamless and welcoming, ensuring that I felt appreciated for my contribution.

It's heartwarming to see an organization that not only provides essential resources but also fosters such a positive and supportive environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Wear2Start to anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in their community.

Thank you for all that you do!
