Donate to the Career Closet
Dalton State College is focused on offering resources to our students to help them succeed in their education and career.
One of those resources is our Career Closet. Ran on donations, this resource offers students, who do not own or cannot otherwise afford to purchase, PROFESSIONAL WEAR clothing at no cost them. We are always looking for donations of professional wear to fill the closet. If you or anyone in your company, organization, church, family, etc. is willing to donate gently used or brand new professional wear to the Dalton State Career Closet, we will gladly take it. Any items not kept are donated to Providence Ministries in Dalton, GA.
With your help, our students will look and feel professional and ready for that big interview or business meeting/event. Thank you in advance for your donations!
We accept donations Monday through Thursday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the Dean of Students Office located in the Pope Student Center.
