Fashion Show to Benefit Area Anti-Hunger Organizations

In response to the growing need of local families for food assistance throughout the area, Future for Fashion, Inc. is hosting its third annual “Hunger Takes No Vacation” fashion show to benefit several anti-hunger organizations in north-central Connecticut.

The show will take place Thursday, June 2 at St. Robert’s Hall, 52 South Elm Street, Windsor Locks. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., the night will start with tastings of hors d'oeuvres, beer by Powder Hollow Brewery, and wine by Joe’s Fine Wine & Spirits. The fashion show will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will feature Artistic Hair Salon’s donation of hairstyles and makeup for the models in the show, as well as men’s and women’s fashions provided by Banana Republic and Moxy Boutique. The fashion show will be followed by a dinner and desserts by Tina’s Cake Emporium.

Throughout the event, there will be auctions and raffles with local and international items, such as an African safari for two, golf packages and many other valuable prizes.

Proceeds from the show will benefit the Emergency Aid Association of Suffield, Enfield Food Shelf, Enfield Loaves & Fishes, Five Corner Cupboard, Pauline’s Stockpot Kitchen, South Windsor Food and Fuel Bank and Windsor Locks Food Pantry.

Ticket cost is $40 per person in advance of the show. For tickets, event sponsorships, donations and/or questions, please call Future for Fashion, Inc. at Artistic Hair Salon at 860-623-5001. Tickets or sponsorships may be purchased in advance of the show through any of the benefitting organizations. Prize donations are welcomed at any of these locations as well.
