KENNEWICK, Wash. –
In this week’s Building Blocks of the Future, we talk with Jet Richardson, the Project Manager of Leadership Tri-Cities and Diana Izaguirre, the Development Director of Domestic Violence Services of Benton & Franklin Counties about the thrift store they’re helping put together for survivors of domestic violence.
Leadership Tri-Cities partnered with DVSBF to help bring this thrift store to life.
The thrift store will be for DVSBF survivors. This type of resource is important because many leave these situations with just the clothes on their backs. The store will have clothes, toys for children, furniture, home decor and many other items that survivors can take home for free. Anyone else can also shop from the thrift store and these funds will go towards DVSBF.
The thrift store is set to open later in April, but there will be a fundraiser fashion show at the Uptown Theater in Richland on April 1st to bring awareness to the store and raise money.
