Free business clothing, no cost, this Friday.
If you've got an interview coming up and buying a whole outfit isn't in the budget, this one's for you. The DC Housing Authority's Barry Farm Redevelopment is giving away gently used professional clothing, free, this Friday, with two pickup windows so you can work it around your day.

The quick version
- When
- Friday, September 25, 2026
12:00–1:00 p.m. or 4:30–5:30 p.m. - Where
- The Grow Center at The Asberry
1200 Sumner Road SE, Washington, DC 20020 - Cost
- Free. Clothing is gently used, donated for this giveaway.
- Who it's for
- Anyone who needs professional clothing, especially for interviews and job searching.
Why this matters more than it looks
This one's useful whether or not you're job hunting for anything specific. Interview clothes are one of the quiet costs of job searching that nobody budgets for, and it's often what stands between a good resume and walking through the door with confidence.
The fine print
- Two windows, one day. Pickup is 12–1pm or 4:30–5:30pm on Friday, Sept 25 only, so plan around one of them.
- “Gently used” means donated clothing, not new. Sizes and selection will depend on what's been given, so it's worth going early in a window if you can.
- It's officially tied to the hiring event. DCHA's own flyer for the Sept 29 construction hiring event points people here first, so this giveaway is meant as prep for that, not a separate charity event, even though anyone can use it.
Good to pair with
DCHA is also holding a construction hiring event with HEP Construction on Tuesday, Sept 29, just four days later, same location. Business attire is requested there, so this giveaway lines up well if you need something to wear before then. Read that breakdown →
If cost is what's kept you from having interview-ready clothes, this Friday takes that excuse off the table.
