Welcome, Students! 🎉

We’re so excited to share that our new rooms are ready and our doors are open! We’re welcoming students who need a little extra support with their fall wardrobes into our store. 👕👖👟

The recent storms have been especially difficult for many of our most vulnerable families. We’re grateful to be able to step in, provide essential clothing, and help students feel confident, prepared, and ready to succeed in the classroom. 📚❤️

Because every student deserves to walk into school feeling ready for whatever the day brings.

💪 Oh what a group!! Grace Point brought a team of rockstars to serve at DFS last week and we had plenty for them to do. Cleaning, unpacking, hanging, sorting, disassembling, hauling & storing, there wasn’t a job they wouldn’t tackle. Thank you for your cheerful service! We couldn’t get ready for students this fall without your help. 🙌

OSL teams around Northwest Indiana came together to collect school supplies 🎒 and funds 💵 for students! Dressed For School was chosen as a recipient to support clothing and shoe needs.

🚜 Here we are in the parking lot, rooting on the construction crews who are racing to get VALE school ready for students next week!

Thank you, OSL, for recognizing needs that often go overlooked.

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. 💙
