Will look forward to hearing more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-secret-santa#post-712433 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:53:59 +0000 Anonymous 712433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so sweet of you Velvety! Thanks for the shout out. But to be sure what I do at DFS is very small. </p> <p>Our chapter has different kinds of benefits and fund raisers from time to time (which I usually don't get involved with because it makes me very uncomfortable to ask friends/family to donate). I'm not sure if it would be possible or even practical to organize a mass donation of actual clothing items to one location, but the thought is a good one! </p> <p>If you want, I could pass your name along to our director and the two of you could collaborate to come up with something that YLFers could donate to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-secret-santa#post-710821 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:32:16 +0000 velvetychocolate 710821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn D. - thank you - it was just a spur of the moment thought. I don't have a Dress for Success in my area or even an affiliate, but I did go looking through their website to see about donations. </p> <p>Having looked around their website (DFS), my thoughts of doing a coordinated donation might be a bit tricky to organize. Apparently, some DFS locations might not be receiving clothing donations at a particular time - which makes sense, in that one "store"/location might have plenty of clothes/accessories at times. I'll probably just send a financial donation around the winter holidays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-secret-santa#post-710678 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 10:23:12 +0000 Lyn D. 710678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely suggestion V.C.<br /> I would like to help but alas, I am too far away!<br /> I hope- and I am sure that others will chime in to grow this idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-different-kind-of-secret-santa#post-709128 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 03:54:27 +0000 velvetychocolate 709128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so impressed with Angie, Claire, Natalie and now Rae for volunteering at Dress for Success...</p> <p>I don't have one in my area...but I'm wondering if there is maybe something special the YLF community could do over the winter holidays to come up with a bulk donation of clothing/accessories to one location or just a financial donation of some kind. I'm not sure what exactly, but it would be nice if we could all come up with something for Dress for Success, don't you think? </p> <p>Comments, thoughts or ideas? Could we all pool our give-aways or donations for Dress for Success or similar organization this winter and help someone else feel and look fab? If this is too much hassle logistically - then do you think we could donate some money (together) to this or another similar organization as kind of a holiday gift? </p> <p>Just throwing out the idea. Food for thought... </p>
