Empowering students in Atlanta Schools by providing new clothing

We provide a week's worth of new school clothing to students in need in Atlanta. Completely Free!

Building Wardrobes. Building Confidence.

DAS, which stands for Dressing Atlanta’s Students, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  We provide a week's worth of new school clothing to students in need in Atlanta, completely free of charge to their families. We believe that when students feel confident in their appearance, they can better focus on achieving their academic potential.  At DAS, we prioritize the dignity and agency of our students. Through our online application system, families can actively participate in selecting clothes that reflect their preferences and needs, fostering a sense of ownership and choice rather than passive reception of charity.
