Free Pop-Up Shop Wednesday For Those In Need In Coachella Valley

INDIO, CA — Martha’s Village & Kitchen and BrightDyed Designs are co-hosting a one-day, pop-up shop, Wednesday, Aug. 14 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m, that will allow impoverished or homeless Coachella Valley residents to shop for free for clothing of all sizes and other items, including some back-to-school gear.

Each attendee will be given a bag that can be filled with the donated items, most new and others gently used, that were collected during the preparations, according to organizers.

The shopping event was the idea of BrightDyed Designs, a business that sells tie-dye designs, arts and crafts and is owned by a mother and her daughters in La Quinta.

“When Jennifer Thompson, co-owner of BrightDyed Designs contacted Martha’s about partnering for this unique community event, I knew that we wanted to be a part of it and together we could really help the community” said Linda Barrack, CEO and president of Martha’s Village and Kitchen, adding that numerous area businesses contributed to the cause.

The pop-up will be held at Martha's Village, 83791 Date Ave. in Indio.

Martha’s Village & Kitchen is among the region's major providers of such homeless services as meals, clothing, healthcare and housing assistance in the Coachella Valley and Riverside County.
