There are many ways that your time, resources and love of fashion can change the lives of women in Cincinnati. By shopping, volunteering, or donating you are helping to support the mission of Dress for Success Cincinnati.

 
 

Shop

First, and most fun of all, you can buy one-of-a-kind clothing & accessories at Portaluca®, a women’s clothing store located in Norwood. On a Saturday afternoon or after work on Thursday and Friday is a great time to do some guilt-free shopping, especially with friends. See our schedule of hours here.

We also sell Portaluca gift cards, which can be purchased for any value over $20. Gift cards can be purchased by contacting the boutique, either through the contact form or by calling directly at 513-322-1782.


 

Volunteer

You can give your time by volunteering to work in the boutique or donate your skillset that may match a need that we have! No retail experience necessary. We need personal shoppers, donation sorting, program mentors, administrative workers and people to provide marketing support. Volunteers power Portaluca®! If you’re interested in volunteering with Portaluca®, please fill out our contact form.


 

Party

Have you ever dreamt about having a store all to yourself and inviting your friends to join you for a private shopping party? A Portaluca® shopping party can make this dream a reality! Our shopping parties allow you to invite your friends or colleagues to a fun, fashionable, and charitable event at Portaluca. You provide the people, some beverages and snacks, and we do everything else. Times and dates are flexible and we’re happy to help work with your schedule. To find out more, contact Portaluca’s store manager, Ann Margolis at 513-322-1782, amargolis@dfscincy.org or fill out the contact form!
