It’s almost time to share the love at Clothes Encounters!
Please join us on February 10, 11, 12 2023 for festive fun, fellowship, and fabulous shopping!
Celebrate love and raise funds for our church and charities.
Make a donation, take home a treasure! After all — all you need is love and a great outfit.
Please donate those treasures you’re not wearing…
high-quality new and gently-used women’s clothing,
jewelry, purses, scarves, and accessories (everything but shoes).
We’re also looking for some amazing silent auction items (anything wonderful…not just clothing).
Thank you from our hearts to yours.

“Clothes Encounters…from our closets to yours” fundraiser, jointly sponsored by the two women’s alliance groups at First Unitarian Church of Dallas: Women’s Evening Alliance (WEA) and Women’s Day Alliance (WDA).
The purpose of Clothes Encounters is to raise money to donate to our Church and to charities. We collect gently-used women’s clothing and accessories of very good quality from alliance members and from members and friends of our Church. People come to Clothes Encounters, enjoy fellowship and fun, and “make a donation, take home a treasure.” All proceeds are divided equally between the Day and Evening Alliances. Each alliance uses these funds for contributions to our Church and to charities chosen annually by alliance members. Afterward, any clothing not chosen at the event is donated to CitySquare to benefit women throughout our community.
Over the years, the Women’s Day and Evening Alliances have donated all the proceeds from Clothes Encounters to our Church and to charities including:
