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. Proceeds of the 2010 sale will be directed to Puppies Behind Bars. This organization trains prison inmates to raise service dogs for the disabled and explosive detection canines for law enforcement. Puppies join the program at eight weeks and live with their inmate puppy-raisers for approximately 18 months. As the puppies mature into well-loved, well-behaved dogs, their raisers learn what it means to contribute to society rather than take from it.
Puppies Behind Bars also provides these prison-trained service dogs, free of charge, to wounded veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The dogs learn special skills to mitigate the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. For more information, visit their web site by clicking on the logo below, or call Eric Barsness at the PBB office at 212-680-9562.
