Thrifted Fashions Will Hit The Runway By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Proudly running his hand down a finely striped tie, New Hope Community Life Ministry executive director Neil Uniacke boasted, “I’m wearing thrifted threads.” “So am I, even my shoes,” added Beth Tyson, manager of the Community Closet Thrift Store, which is part of New Hope. Proceeds from the Community Closet, 128 TownsEdge Drive, Quarryville, support New Hope’s mission to provide quality counseling for a variety of needs with a faithbased perspective regardless of the client’s ability to pay. The ministry is headquartered at 248-A Maple Ave., Quarryville. The thrift store also donates a portion of its proceeds to other local nonprofit organizations.
BOOK SALE
The Friends of the Quarryville Library will host their monthly book sale on Saturday, March 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Tuesday, March 26, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The library is located at 357 Buck Road, Quarryville. The book sale will feature games and puzzles this month. Additionally, baked goods will be available for purchase.
“We make a serious effort to put out very nice items,” Tyson said. Uniacke concurred, relating that he had bought two brand-new dress shirts still in their plastic packaging at the Community Closet the previous week. “We have an incredible gem of a thrift store,” he said. “You can save a lot of money and get really nice stuff.” While the racks and shelves are full of items in good condition, Tyson has been holding back a few select pieces in preparation for the ministry’s annual fashion show. The event will be held on Saturday, April 6, at Refton Brethren in Christ Church, 110 Church St., Refton. The doors will open at 5 p.m., and the buffet will open for dinner around 5:45 p.m. A silent auction will run during the evening, with additional opportunities to win door prizes See Fashion Show pg 9
