With thousands of women unable to secure employment because they lack the resources to take the initial, yet vital, step of looking presentable for a job interview—Dress Barn is teaming up with the non-profit organization, Dress for Success, to gather more than 60,000 articles of clothing, as part of its S.O.S. - Send One Suit – Weekend^® donation drive, March 1-4.

This year’s clothing drive marks the tenth consecutive year Dress Barn and Dress for Success have partnered to help women in need receive professional business attire. 

All 825 Dressbarn stores across the country will serve as drop-off sites for new or gently used professional attire including:

• suits
• dress shirts
• blazers
• pants
• dresses
• shoes

These donations will be used to benefit women seeking to transition into the workforce.

All 825 Dress Barn stores will offer donors an additional 15% total purchase savings in gratitude for their generosity.
