Donate Prom Dresses and Wedding Dresses to a Charity in the Dayton, OH Area

Donating your old prom dress or wedding dress to National Kidney Services (NKS) is a great way to make this special garment even more important. NKS is a non-profit charity in the Dayton, OH, area that collects used household items and clothing, including formal wear, to generate proceeds that support kidney disease prevention and education efforts. With your help, we can make people more aware of this widespread illness and help at-risk individuals get the health screenings and information they need to stay well.

NKS can come right to your home and collect your dress donation at no charge. To arrange a free pickup, call 614-351-2900 or fill out our online form. An NKS representative will contact you and schedule a day/time when we will be collecting donations in your neighborhood. On the evening before your pickup, simply pack your prom dress or wedding dress in a bag or box clearly labeled with “NKS” and place it outside in a clean, dry place where it will be easily visible from the road. You can also drop your contribution off at any Ohio Thrift store near you.

Your donation of a prom dress or wedding dress to NKS is tax deductible*, and a tax receipt can be obtained from your donation pickup driver or from any Ohio Thrift store. Estimate the value of the item based on the amount you originally paid, its current condition, and how old the item is. If you need help determining the approximate value of your contribution for tax purposes*, refer to the NKS online valuation guide or the IRS guidelines.
