Fashion Meets Resilience

Fashion is at the heart of Resilience, Runway & Retail. Three generous boutiques donated clothing for residents to upcycle as part of a hands-on sustainability experience, giving them the opportunity to learn, create, and bring new life to each piece. Additional boutiques will also be featured at the event, offering guests the chance to shop curated styles while supporting a meaningful afternoon of community, creativity, and purpose.
