About Us

Transforming Potential
Into Power

Fashion with a Purpose. Founded in 2014, The Mia Space Project is a labor of love led by Demetria ‘Mia’ Space. Drawing on her background in fashion (Columbia College) and a deep commitment to social advocacy, Mia realized that for women escaping domestic violence or homelessness, clothing is not just utility—it is armor. It is dignity.

From Grassroots to Global Support Operating as a fully grassroots organization, Mia and her team have built a logistical hub for community giving. We organize drives, manage pickups, and store inventory until the moment it is needed. This dedication to operational excellence has garnered the support of partners like Stripe, Hilton Hotels, and Meta (Facebook Chicago).

Our Mission

Curating Dignity We believe that every woman deserves clothing that fits her specific journey.
That is why we reject the “one-size-fits-all” donation model. Instead, we create bespoke goals for
our partner shelters, providing professional wear for job seekers, comfort wear for those in
recovery, and heavy outerwear for surviving Chicago winters.

Our Team

The Mia Space Project is powered by a group of passionate, caring, and dedicated individuals who believe deeply in community, dignity, and compassion. Our team brings together volunteers, organizers, and community leaders who share one mission:
