Support FSW's The Sharing Shelf's Spring Teen Boutique: Saturday, April 29th

The Sharing Shelf Spring Teen Boutique provides much-needed clothing to teenage girls from low-income families.

The Sharing Shelf's Teen Boutique, a program of Family Services of Westchester, is a one-day free shopping boutique for low-income teen girls ages 13-19 in Westchester County, New York. Teen girls are invited to Teen Boutique by social service agencies, schools, food pantries and community groups. Each girl receives a shopping certificate, allowing her to choose and take home a week's worth of seasonally appropriate clothing plus shoes and accessories. Volunteers work as fashion consultants and personal shoppers, assisting the girls as they shop. This will be our 10th event.

In the past ten years, Teen Boutique has benefited over 800 girls who have taken home more than 25,000 items. Donations are needed to rent our location as well as racks and tables to display the clothing. We also purchase new underwear for each girl and provide them with a bag of new toiletries.

This year's Spring Teen Boutique will be held on Saturday, April 29th, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle. Visit www.fsw.org for more information or to donate, click here: https://www.gofundme.com/sprin...
