Archie's Promise

Archie’s Promise is a 501 © (3) organization that began with the simple mission to help individuals and families, whether that help is providing formal wear donations for special needs proms, assisting individuals with attire for interviews, or accepting business and formal wear donations and reselling them at a discounted price. Archie’s Promise reaches out to the community and takes the financial burden off individuals and families when shopping for a business casual, semi-formal, or formal event. In January 2015, Archie’s Promise opened a thrift store called the Archie & Idalene Formal Shoppe.

Archie’s Promise provides affordable formal and business wear and free hygiene products to economically disadvantaged families, displaced youth, and adults. By making formal wear and hygiene products affordable and accessible, we enable our clients to build up their confidence and self-esteem.
