Each month we spotlight a local nonprofit that's in need of help. It's a way to connect our listeners with charities that make an impact.

Get Involved spotlight: Impact Apparel ATX

From Impact Apparel ATX, this month's Get Involved spotlight nonprofit:

Impact Apparel is Austin's newest resale boutique where fashion meets purpose.

Located in South Austin, our curated selection of high-quality, pre-loved clothing and accessories offer a stylish and earth-friendly alternative to fast fashion. Every purchase at Impact Apparel directly supports Dress for Success Austin (DFSA), empowering women to achieve economic independence. By shopping with us, you're not only refreshing your wardrobe—you’re helping Central Texas women in their career journey. Plus, bring a friend for 20% off both purchases or book a private shopping party with us!

DFSA Inventory Specialist Heather Kafka says, "It's wonderful to be around a group of women who are all working towards one goal and that is to uplift other women. When you are in the volunteer experience within the boutique, it's really inspiring to see a client come in one state of mind and then a volunteer walks them through a one hour styling appointment and by the end of it, the two are really uplifted. Everyone feels really good to do that."

We believe in the power of community, sustainability, and style with a mission. Our boutique is thoughtfully designed to offer a unique shopping experience that reflects Austin’s creative spirit, while making a meaningful impact on the lives of women in our city. We offer quality pieces at affordable prices including vintage and specialty items plus a Texas Longhorn rack for game days.

DFSA board member and Impact Apparel volunteer Summer McAfee shares, "From the moment you walk into Impact Apparel, it's just a joyful experience from finding a new pair of shorts that are priced at $10 to some cute earrings that are priced at $5, there are so many cute things no matter what size you are."

Impact Apparel is 100% volunteer run and we can't do it without our incredible team of dedicated supporters. Interested in volunteering at Impact Apparel? Attend one of our upcoming Impact Apparel onboarding dates!
