UP, UP AND AWAY: Sustainable fashion will be in the spotlight, when Goodwill New York New Jersey hold a virtual gala on Wednesday.
Model, activist and actress Amber Valletta will cohost the “Goodwill Evening of Treasures” event with Fern Mallis. Goodwill NYNJ’s former director and vice chairman Don M. Wilson 3rd will be honored at the event.
Thrifting, upcycling and donating clothes for resale through organizations like Goodwill of New York New Jersey have become more popular during the pandemic.
This week’s event will support the Goodwill COVID-19 crisis fund, which will enable Goodwill to continue operating safely and maintain essential services at this increased time of need. Helping displaced workers get back to work, breaking down barriers to employment, including racial ones, and helping low-income and individuals with disabilities secure jobs and independence are among the other objectives.
