Altruism: Altruism is characterized by selflessness and concern for the well-being of others. Most people who go out of their way to donate whether it be their time, money or clothes and goods, do this because it gives them a sense of helping and it usually feels good.
However, if you want the benefit of altruism DO NOT go to this nonprofit and expect that you will leave feeling like you did a good thing. The mission of this organization is amazing, which is why there should be amazing people volunteering or working there.
I made a substantial clothing donation; I did not feel welcome when I walked in and I felt less appreciated when I left.

This business definitely has and continues to fulfill its purpose and needs in the metro Atlanta area! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️...
Read moreI'm very disappointed and the reason is the following. After going to the Official Dress for Success web site for Atlanta and the site information indicated that the donation center was open from 9 am to 3 pm today. (Monday - Friday, 9 am to 3 pm at Dress for Success Atlanta ) I drove 58 miles to make a substantial donation. I have changed jobs and don't wear my suits or dresses anymore for work . I wanted to be able to help others that may be in need of these items. I also have professional shoes, belts and purses.
