Housing Works of New York gives you several reasons to shop their thrift this Saturday. One is their brown bag event at the warehouse in Long Island. For $20 you can fill a bag with clothes and accessories; no bag limit!
Also happening Saturday is the Around The World event at their West Village thrift shop location. The promo reads: "Travel around the world with us and shop fabulous finds from the 7 Continents!" You can also bring items to donate.
Through Sunday is their incredible Rugs, Rugs, Rugs event at the Gramercy location. I'd go tomorrow if I were you, before they're picked over. The rugs come donated from none other than The Rug Company! With the tags still on them! Marked down 75%! Also featured are rugs from ABC Carpet & Home.
On a serious note: you may have read my previous posts about Housing Works, an amazing community-based AIDS service organization. If not you can read more here. They are now collaborating with PHAP+ -- an umbrella group that links 15 outreach organizations for the Haitian HIV/AIDS community. They received an email pleading for assistance following the quake, “We need some doctors badly!!! First aid kits, food! Please bring tents.” Haiti has the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the Western hemisphere. If you're moved to help you can go to the Housing Works donation page.
