Once a year in October, the Community Clothes Charity organizes a brief not-for-profit sale of new and lightly worn designer and quality women's clothing. Donated couture fashions in all sizes are resold at a fraction of their original cost. Held at the Eagle Village Shops, in Wayne, PA, the sale also includes a popular “Boutique”, which features jewelry, belts, handbags, shoes and accessories, as well as gifts and a selection of fine children’s wear.
Every year the CCC committee chooses a different beneficiary from the Philadelphia area for their sale. A major portion of the funds raised this year will go to Need in Deed (NID), an educational non-profit that uses the classroom to prepare young people for civic responsibility and service to others, enabling them to become capable, contributing members of the community. Working in Philadelphia public, charter and independent schools, NID trains and supports teachers as they adopt a teaching and learning strategy known as service learning.
Additionally, the sale will also help support one of the most exciting research programs at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center at CHOP is one of the largest, most renowned centers for children and adolescents living with SCD. Its research programs are developing new treatments and cures to benefit the more than 100,000 individuals living with SCD in the United States and the millions more worldwide.
