As a female-owned small business, we always try to support other local business by partnering with them through fundraisers. This last week, we partnered with Uncommon Threads and the event we hosted was a great success! Uncommon Threads, a Lawrence based non-profit that provides high quality clothing and styling services to women from low-income households, domestic violence survivors, disabled women, female veterans, homeless women, women in recovery, the elderly and more.
We connected with Susan, the owner, via Instagram (@themidlifefashionista) and felt it would be mutually beneficial to host a fundraising event. Uncommon Threads is a business like no other in the area. They specialize in styling women for work, home, and every day life. They take clothing and monetary donations, particularly name-brand clothing, so we felt we could have a successful event by pooling together our clients! Darby Road HOME hosted the event which included a silent auction, donations and kick-started a fundraiser! For every FLIKR individual fire place we sell, 20% of the proceeds will go to Uncommon Threads, always. The event was a great success, and a night full of laughs, support, friendship and admiration for one another. We hope to host another event like this in the future! Below, enjoy pictures from the event!
