About 30 dresses from the ’50s and ’60s will be up for sale during an auction in March.When can buying a vintage miniskirt from the ’60s help buy food and medicine or other needed care items for a dog or cat?
It can when you buy that dress, or any item, from the Humane Educational Society’s 2nd Chance Thrift Store. And the animals are hardly the only ones who benefit from the deal.
In a happy twist of fate that seems to have winners around every corner, the resale shop in East Ridge finds itself with an abundance of furniture, glassware, lamps, purses, sewing machines, handmade wedding dresses and bags full of clothing, in addition to nearly 30 never-worn vintage pieces in a recent donation from the estate of Anna Ball White.
“I thought mother would want to know she had helped these animals,” says White’s daughter, Trish Foy.
