June 5, 2025: We are NOT CURRENTLY accepting clothing donations this season. (We will always accept your monetary donations.) Please join our mailing list to hear about future donation windows.
Ask to join our email list so you don’t miss the dates: CommunityWardrobe@horsempta.com. REMEMBER: Never leave items outside our door, as this will jeopardize our tenancy.
Community Wardrobe only accepts items that are in very good condition: nothing torn, stained or smelly. And ideally, without animal hair.
IF YOU WOULDN’T GIVE IT TO A FRIEND, please don’t give it to Community Wardrobe.
Bring donations to 222 North Washington Street, Sleepy Hollow
Look for the red door.

*Donation GUIDELINES
When we are accepting clothing donations, we accept items for all members of the family, including shoes, jewelry, toiletries, and handbags. When packing up your donations, please keep these tips in mind:
➡️ Remember: if you wouldn’t give it to a friend, please don’t give it to us. ⬅️
Donations we especially LIKE:
✅ Size XS, Small, and Medium men’s clothes, and men’s shoes sizes 5-8
✅ Women’s shoes size 6.5 and smaller are in demand
✅ We always need sneakers. (Please wash them first, if possible.)
✅ Teen boy clothing
✅ Our clients love Sleepy Hollow spirit wear!
✅ Youth sneakers
✅ New socks in packaging (check out our Amazon wishlist)
✅ Reading glasses. These change some people’s lives in seconds.
✅ We accept purses, handbags, backpacks, and duffels if they are in very good condition.
✅ We take some prom, bridesmaid, and quinceanera dresses.
✅ We are once again accepting XL women’s clothing, but not men’s XL.
✅ We are accepting maternity wear.
✅ Unopened toiletries, especially toothpaste and shampoo, are in demand. Donate your hotel goodies or purchase them for us to distribute from our Amazon Wishlist.
✅ We love dresses of all kinds, especially casual ones.
(Thanks to our partnership with 914Cares, we have a steady supply of period products and diapers to offer our clients.)
We WON’T accept:
❌ Please do not give us pilled, ratty pajamas.
❌ Sorry, no cleats or sports equipment. Also, no leotards or dance shoes.
❌ We cannot currently take linens or blankets (we ran out of space!). ✅ We can take towels, though, and have great demand for them.
❌ Used socks
❌ Used underwear, except for bras (we accept bras and lingerie in appealing condition)
❌ Hangers
❌ Any torn, stained, dirty, hairy, or smoke-scented item
➡️ If you bring career clothing, please only bring a few items: we don’t have need or room for many suits. ⬅️
❌ Donations brought outside the dates of our scheduled donation windows.
These lists change as our inventory changes so check back frequently. We update regularly.
We LOVE IT when:
You put your donations in multiple bags sorted and labeled by gender and size. Please be prepared to take home anything that doesn’t meet the criteria on this page. We simply don’t have the person power or the space to manage the excess.
Sorting your donation into categories makes it easier (and quicker) to get your stuff out into the world again!
