We Don’t Just Donate. We Curate.
We Don’t Just Donate. We Curate.
The Mia Space Project is more than a clothing drive—it is a logistics operation designed to restore dignity. We bridge the gap between excess and necessity by providing high-quality, curated clothing to women in Chicago affected by domestic violence and homelessness.
Solutions We Provide
We collect, sort, and distribute gently-used clothing to children and families in need. Through community clothing drives, volunteer support, and donation pick-up services, we make giving simple and impactful. Our events, outreach programs, and partnerships help us bring warmth, dignity, and hope to the people who need it most.

THE "NEEDS-FIRST" MODEL
We distinguish ourselves through a bespoke distribution model. Unlike traditional donation centers that rely on bulk dumping, we partner directly with local shelters to identify the specifi c gaps in their inventory.
We fulfi ll these needs through three distinct pillars of support:
Workforce Readiness
For women securing employment. We provide professional attire (suits, blouses, shoes, and accessories) to give women the confi dence they need for interviews and workforce re-entry.
Transition & Recovery
For health and wellness. For women currently in shelters or transitioning out of homelessness, we provide high-quality lounge and athletic wear to offer comfort during a diffi cult time.
Survival & Seasonal
For surviving Chicago winters. We prioritize the collection of heavy coats, boots, and essential outerwear to ensure our community stays safe and warm during the harshest months of the year.
