Bowen Engineering 🔨

When a community comes together, incredible things happen.

A huge thank you to the dedicated team at Bowen for donating their time, expertise, and materials to help build out our store. Their generosity is creating a welcoming space where students can access new clothing, shoes, and essentials with dignity and confidence.

This project is more than a construction effort—it’s an investment in clothing security, student success, and the future of our community.

Thank you for helping us build confidence, opportunity, and hope—one student at a time!

This spring Dressed for School's doors were closed to the public due to construction 🚧. Quickly shifting gears, our staff and volunteers packed 475 custom wardrobes for delivery to 22 schools and agencies! All possible with the support of community partners, corporate sponsors, individual donors and agency/school social workers who help build confidence in kids. Thank you!

When a local corporation like Holladay Properties, Portage steps up to host a clothing donation drive, it’s more than just a collection—it’s a commitment to community care. These efforts help ensure students have access to essentials and remind us what’s possible when businesses invest in the people around them. Small acts, big impact. 💙

A hearty round of applause 👏to the Portage Chamber for your advocacy! Underwear and socks may sound simple, but that BASIC need too often goes unmet for some children in Porter County.
