What could be better than shopping for a cause? All this week, from now through August 19, Ivy Hill Boutique (304 N. Euclid, 314-367-7004), in partnership for Connections to Success, is asking shoppiers to donate lightly worn designer clothing pieces that will be used in Mystique Boutique, a 53-foot trailer that sells resale clothing. All proceeds will benefit programs for Connections for Success, including Dress for Success Midwest. If you bring in one or more gently used clothing items to Ivy Hill, you also get 25 percent off one new item in the boutique.
With two locations in St. Louis and one in Kansas City, Connections to Success is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower determined individuals with a plan and resources to achieve economic self-reliance.
Connections to Success will also be holding a fundraiser this Friday, August 17 at the McDonald's on Manchester (12120 Manchester, Des Peres) in which McDonald's will be offering customers $1 off their purchase of frozen drinks.
