To Donate a Dress or Accessories

We are in need of gently worn dresses, wraps, jewelry, new shoes and other accessories. Dresses should be in excellent condition, clean, modern and age-appropriate. All fabrics, sizes and colors are welcome! All donations are tax-deductible.

Donations are gratefully accepted from October, 2009 through February, 2010 by appointment only at the Kenzie's CLOSET location, 2010 Madison Road. Please call us at 513-533-PROM to make an appointment to drop off your donated items during this time.

Donated items will also be accepted at these drop-off locations from February 15, 2010 through May 1st, 2010:

Any Appearance Plus Cleaners location:

  • 3505 Erie Avenue, Hyde Park, Ohio (phone: 321-9959)
  • 6812 Clough Pike, Anderson, Ohio (phone: 624-3857)
  • 18 W 3rd Street, Cincinnati, Ohio (downtown location, phone: 721-7999)

To Make a Monetary Donation

Cash donations are very important to Kenzie's CLOSET. The donations are used to purchase gowns to supplement our inventory which is size 0 to size 32. Though we would like to have dresses donated in every size, it isn't always possible. We work with local retailers to purchase gowns as cost-effectively as possible.

Cash donations also are used to buy shoes, costume jewelry and other accessories, and to help pay for expenses such as racks and hangers for the shop, activities to build public awareness, etc.

Please make your check payable to "Kenzie's CLOSET" and mail it to:

  • Kenzie's CLOSET
  • P.O. Box 43285
  • Cincinnati, OH 45243

When sending in a monetary donation, please enclose a self-addressed envelope or your e-mail address to receive a tax-deduction letter.
