Daniel Gale launches clothing drive supporting Dress for Success

The Daniel Gale Foundation, the philanthropic division of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, has launched its 25th annual clothing drive in support of Dress for Success, an initiative that reflects the organization’s enduring commitment to community service and empowerment.

From now through the end of May, all 29 Daniel Gale offices from Brooklyn and Queens to the Hamptons will be collecting new or gently used professional clothing and accessories to help local women dress for success.

Items being accepted include dress and pant suits and separates, blouses, shoes, coats, handbags, and other business-appropriate attire. All donations will benefit Dress for Success, which supports unemployed and underemployed women by providing professional attire and tools to help them succeed in their job search and career development.

“Whether it’s the first impression a property or a person makes, no one understands the power of presentation like a real estate agent,” said Deirdre O’Connell, Daniel Gale CEO. “But this drive is about so much more than clothes—it’s about helping women feel seen, valued, and equipped to take the next step in their careers and lives.”

Daniel Gale’s partnership with Dress for Success began in 2000, when agents and employees were first invited to participate in a company-wide clothing collection. Since then, the initiative has become an annual tradition, with the company donating truckloads of high-quality business attire that has supported countless women on their journeys to economic independence and personal empowerment.

Community members are invited to join the effort by dropping off donations at a Daniel Gale office. To find the nearest location, visit: www.danielgale.com/locations.
