Organization to donate business clothes to?

When I lived in Chicago, I knew about an organization that collected business clothing for women reentering the job market so they would have appropriate clothing for interviews, etc. They were always in need of plus size clothes.

Is there anything like that in the Twin Cities? I have so many professional skirts, tops and pants that are going to be too big within a few months.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!

Ready for Success — part of Episcopal Community Services — provides low-income women in the Twin Cities with gently used clothing suitable for interviews and the workplace. They especially need "business professional" and" business casual" items in sizes 14 and higher, plus shoes, scaves, jewelry, watches, purses, belts, seasonal outwear, bras, slips, and camisoles. Call 651-731-6400 or visit www.ecsmn.org.

There is also an org called Dress for Success but I can't find the MN Contact info - maybe Edi will post - I know she has mentioned that her job works with that organization sometimes.
