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.
