Join us as we work to help the young people of D.C., Maryland and Virginia step confidently into their future!

As part of our ongoing community support initiative, we are reaching out to individuals to kindly consider contributing to our cause by donating suits, dresses, shoes, and accessories. These items play a crucial role in empowering members of our community to present themselves confidently and professionally at important occasions such as job interviews, graduations, and other significant events in their lives. Your generous donations will make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.

We have set up convenient drop-off points for donations at the ESYDA offices, as well as during all ESYDA events and practices. By donating these items, you are not just giving away clothing; you are offering a helping hand to someone striving to better their circumstances and create a brighter future for themselves. Your support is greatly appreciated and will undoubtedly make a positive difference in our community.
Remember, if you don't have any clothing to donate, cash donations are always accepted at www.MelanatedWellness.net and on our GoFundMe page linked below.
Let’s make sure everyone has the opportunity to dress for success!
