Donating women’s clothes and accessories to Wings is an important way to support our organization. We appreciate and depend on the generosity of our community to keep our closets full.
Because of the nature of our program, we need to adhere to standards that will allow the women from our community to present themselves for interviews and employment at their best.
We are in need of quality clothing in current styles, both professional and business casual that are new or like new condition, that follow our preferred standards. Even if you have donated in the past, please look over our donation standards and current needs.
Please note that the majority of our clients are between the ages of 22 and 35.

How to Prepare Your Donation
Please place clothing on hangers or folded neatly in re-usable shopping bags that we can re-use for our clients.
Accessories & jewelry may also be placed in reusable shopping bags.
We prefer that donations are not delivered in boxes, large plastic trash bags, or bins. Also, please do not bring shoes in shoe boxes.
Large Donations
If have a large quantity of clothing to donate to Wings that follow our preferred standards, please email usor call us at 610-644-6323 prior to dropping off your donation.
Clothing and Accessory Drives
We are often approached by community organizations and businesses asking how they can help as a group. One of the most popular choices is to host a drive. Drives asking for specific donations of new and like-new jewelry, purses, scrubs, coats, and toiletries have been popular with groups.
