From now until the end of May, a Queens nonprofit organization is working to help young professionals “dress to impress.”
Commonpoint Queens announced that it is accepting donations for its Commonpoint Closet clothing boutique, which will operate at The Bay Terrace shopping center this June. Anyone can donate new or gently used professional attire to any of the four Commonpoint Queens locations around the borough.
“The Commonpoint Closet is a free clothing boutique. We empower young men and women on their road to economic independence by the professional attire to help them enter and thrive in the workforce,” according to the organization’s website.
Anyone can drop off new or gently used, clean professional attire at the following locations:
- Commonpoint Queens Sam Field Center
58-20 Little Neck Pkwy.
Little Neck, NY 11362 - Commonpoint Queens Central Queens

212-00 23rd Ave.
Bayside, NY 11360 - Commonpoint Queens The Hub
77-17 Queens Blvd.

Once the donation period is closed, those who wish to get clothes for a job interview can do so at The Bay Terrace shopping center on June 13 to 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or during extended hours June 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Registration is required.
Those who wish to volunteer at the clothing boutique can do so here.
