Cleaning out your closets is one of those spring-cleaning chores that often gets pushed back until there are literally years of clothing items taking up space. The Benefit Shop Foundation Inc. is looking to make this task worthwhile by taking those no-longer needed clothes and fashion accessories and converting them into funds to help the community.
The foundation is eschewing its typical online auction format for selling antiques, art, clothing and collectibles with its first-ever, on-site Pop-Up Fashion Charity Sale in May. Hours will be Friday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, May 18, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The sale will benefit local nonprofit organizations working to better the community. Donations of vintage and new clothing and accessories are being sought, including dresses, tops, coats, menswear, athletic wear, handbags, costume and luxury jewelry, gloves, shoes, belts, ties, scarves and sunglasses.
“This is a great opportunity to make room in your closet, renew your spring style and support a great cause,” said Pam Stone, founder and president of the Benefit Shop Foundation.
Donations are tax-deductible and will be accepted weekdays through early May from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 185 Kisco Ave., Mount Kisco, Suite 101. No appointments are necessary.
