Besides donating, how can I help?
We have started a few initiatives to ensure these beautiful dresses are making it into the hands of needy children. If you’re traveling to India (or know anyone who is) and have extra luggage space, then you can volunteer to carry a bag of donations. We have volunteers in India who can collect the dresses from you. Let us know if you’re interested, and we can send you more details. You can also give a monetary donation at our GoFundMe to directly help us cover shopping costs. We truly appreciate your support for this cause.
Do you accept adult/everyday clothing?
No - We are collecting traditional Indian clothing for children of ages 3-16. We don't accept adult clothing due to limited storage capacity and since our priority is children.
Where does Dream Dresses donate the clothes?
We are partnered with various NGOs in India including Goonj, Aarna Foundation, Catalysts for Social Action, and SMILE to which we donate the clothes.
