Clothing with Purpose: Donate Clothes & Make a Difference!

Donate Clothes, Make a Lasting Impact at Martha’s Table

Donating clothes to Martha’s Table goes beyond clearing out your closet—it provides essential resources for children, families, and individuals in our community! Your gently used items will get a second life when they become part of Martha’s Outfitters, our no-cost boutique. Our neighbors can access clothing to meet their everyday needs, whether it’s a warm coat for winter, professional attire for a job interview, or much more! 

How Your Clothing Donations Make a Difference

Your donations help stock Martha’s Outfitters, a space designed to support our community members. Each piece of clothing you donate—whether it’s a shirt, shoes, or a jacket—becomes part of someone’s journey to thriving in DC. 

But that’s not all. When you donate, you’re contributing to a more sustainable community. You’re keeping clothing out of landfills, giving items a second life, and reducing waste. Every donation counts, no matter how small!

Don’t want to drive around with bags of clothes in your trunk for two months before actually donating them? 

We will pick them up! Through our partnership with B-Thrify’s “Project B Green,” you can schedule a donation pick-up, and we will come to you! It is an extremely convenient and efficient way to ensure your clothing makes an impact. 

“Supporting Martha’s Table meant a lot to me because I’m often teaching my son the importance of community & giving back! Project B Green made the process of donating seamless because I travel a lot and I’m not always able to drop things off. My delivery driver was extremely communicative and kind and just made this process even more special.” 

– Imani Bashir, MT Supporter & DC Influencer

Volunteer and Make an Impact at Outfitters

If you’re looking for a hands-on way to get involved, you can volunteer at Martha’s Outfitters and help sort and organize clothing. By joining us, you’ll directly impact our community’s ability to access no-cost clothing. Volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring that the space remains welcoming and well-organized, allowing families to shop with dignity and easily find what they need.

Whether you’re organizing donations, folding clothes, or assisting visitors, your time and effort can make a huge difference!
