Update September 2026:
We are not currently accepting donations. However, we will begin taking winter coats, boots, gloves, scarves and hats on the dates below. We will also accept your regular winter donations (pants, sweaters, tops...nearly everything except bathing suits, shorts, and tank tops).
Ask to be added to our email blasts to be kept up to date: communitywardrobe@horsemenpta.org
Thank you for your patience.
Before you donate, scroll down to review our guidelines. We are a volunteer organization with limited human resources: we will turn away items that don't meet our criteria. We greatly appreciate the effort you make before your clothing reaches the shop.
We will always accept monetary donations!
Ask to join our email list so you don’t miss the dates: CommunityWardrobe@horsemenpta.org.
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.

✅ We always need sneakers for all ages. (Please wash them first, if possible.)
✅ Boys' pants, especially size 6-8
✅ Our clients love Sleepy Hollow spirit wear!

✅ Reading glasses. These change some people’s lives in seconds.
✅ We accept purses, handbags, backpacks, and duffels if they are in very good condition.
❌ No totes, please.
✅ We take some prom, bridesmaid, and quinceanera dresses.
✅ We are once again accepting XL women’s clothing, but not men’s XL.
✅ We are once again 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.
✅ We can currently take some linens and blankets though if we run out of space, we may need to turn away these generous donations.
✅ We can always take towels, though, and have great demand for them.
We WON’T accept:
❌ No pilled, overly loved pajamas.
❌No cleats or sports equipment. Also, no leotards or dance shoes.

➡️ 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.
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!
These lists change as our inventory changes so check back frequently. We update regularly.
Community Wardrobe thanks all our supporters, including
