Suits for Success provides professional attire to current and former foster youth who are preparing to enter the workforce. We deeply appreciate Buckeye Ranch’s provision of storage space, and support from DCY, the Ohio Children’s Alliance, and Velda Hofacker. The Department of Children and Youth plans to host clothing drives on the mornings of May 13, 20 and 27, 2026.
We are currently inviting professional clothing donations in preparation for the 2026 Leadership and Life Skills Summit for current and former foster youth. During the Summit, we will have volunteers on hand to show youth how to tie their first tie. Young people in and from foster care will be able to keep these these clothing items, and wear them during job interviews and other important life events.
For those who are interested in donating to Suits for Success:
- The population we serve is current and foster youth, ages 14-24 years old.
- Donations accepted include hangers, racks and financial donations to support the cost of transporting the suits, rack rental and purchasing supplemental clothing items to support the needs of young people at the annual statewide conference for current and former foster youth.
- Those who donate clothing can receive a receipt if desired.
