Women Helping Women

WHW Closet Remodel Cropped

Women Helping Women (WHW) is a project in which Junior League volunteers collect, prepare, and distribute donated professional women’s clothing. These clothes are given to women entering the workforce and who are in transition towards self-sufficiency. Clients are referred to the project by government and social service agencies. Women Helping Women has served over 17,000 women since 1996.

Donations

We are currently accepting donations.  To better serve the needs of our clients, please use the following donation guidelines:

  • NO DRY CLEAN ONLY ITEMS – the majority of our clients are unable to utilize dry cleaning services
  • NO SLACKS, BLAZERS, OR DRESSES – the workplace today is often a business casual environment and these items are not appropriate for our clients
  • NO HIGH HEELS – many of our clients are in need of comfortable shoes for working on their feet
  • NOTHING OLDER THAN 10 YEARS – our clients should feel confident getting out into the workplace and ensuring they have current options is key

We are currently in need of jeans (no holes or rips) in sizes 8 and up.

Donations can be dropped off Monday – Thursday from 9:30a-1:30p

Please note – The hours listed above for donations, are NOT the hours that the Women Helping Women boutique is open to clients.

Please do NOT leave donations at our offices outside of office hours as they will likely be stolen, rifled through by others, or possibly damaged in inclement weather.
