Shop ‘Til You Drop

Get your pocketbooks ready and come join us for the second annual “Finders Keepers” upscale clothing resale event! For two days only (Thursday April 28th and Friday April 29th), Sea Island Habitat for Humanity will transform the Berkeley Electric multi purpose room into a resale boutique selling dresses, silk blouses, sports clothes, and more—all to benefit the 2011 Women Build home.

“We are so excited to be hosting such fabulous event,” says Anne Randall, Volunteer Coordinator for SIHH. “Ginny Larence of Kiawah Island and several other ladies have been recruiting donations, and we have received some great items so far—pants, coats, beautiful blouses, purses and more. And with all the proceeds from the sale going directly towards the Women Build home, you can feel good about shopping since your purchases will be helping the Women Build family become first-time homeowners!”

Sea Island Habitat has been helping families in the Lowcountry become first-time homeowners since 1978 and has been able to help over 270 families since its start. Every spring, SIHH hosts a project called Women Build, which brings together women from all walks of life to address poverty housing by funding and building a Habitat home for a deserving family. This year’s Women Build home will cost approximately $60,000 to construct, with building commencing April 30th - May 7th, 2011 and running until the home is completed. All of the proceeds from the “Finders Keepers” sale will go directly towards funding the Sea Island Habitat Women Build project.

The sale will take place at Berkeley Electric multi purpose room (3351 Maybank Highway, Johns Island, SC 29455) on Thursday April 28th from 11-2pm and 4-7pm and the again on Friday April 29th from 11-2pm and 4-7pm. With racks upon racks of handbags, scarves, blouses, pants, skirts and more, shoppers will be able to find something truly unique—at a great price and for a great cause!
