We will always accept monetary donations!
Ask to join our email list so you don’t miss the dates: CommunityWardrobe@horsempta.org.
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.

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 for all ages. (Please wash them first, if possible.)
✅ Boys' pants, especially size 6-8
✅ Our clients love Sleepy Hollow spirit wear!
✅ 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.
✅ 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:
❌ Sorry, no cleats or sports equipment. Also, no leotards or dance shoes.
❌ 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. ⬅️
❌We are not currently accepting maternity wear.
❌ 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
