Every year, Max I. Walker customers donate dresses – prom, wedding, bridesmaid, cocktail and other formal gowns – at locations all across the Metro, and then Max I. Walker’s employees generously clean, press and store them. Once ready, the dresses are sold at the Ultra Chic Boutique dress sale event. From 2007 to 2017, the proceeds were donated to the Open Door Mission's Lydia House.

Starting in 2018, the Max I. Walker family began partnering with the Nebraska Alzheimer's Association for the Ultra Chic Boutique. At the 2018, 2019 & 2020 events, we raised a total of nearly $60,000 for this worthy cause! While we've still yet to determine if a 2021 event will be possible, we are hopeful for the opportunity to safely hold our event again in the near future.

Dress Donations Accepted Year Round

If you have any of these dress types to donate, simply drop them off at your nearest Max I. Walker location:

• Prom Dresses (long or short)
• Modern Wedding Gowns (less than 15 years old)
• Formal & Evening Gowns
• Cocktail or Little Black Dresses

We take dress donations year round! We'll clean, press and prepare your gowns, transforming them into the dress of someone's dreams, then store them until next year's big day.
