Party with a Purpose
October 26- November 1

In exchange for a $10 donation or a donation of gently worn clothing or new personal care items, customers will receive 25% off their purchase during our Party with a Purpose event. Our store in Venice is again partnering with Women’s Resource Center of Venice this year for this worthwhile cause.

Patchington’s Party with a Purpose will once again stand up to domestic violence and bring awareness and support to our communities. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in every four women will become a victim to domestic violence in her lifetime. For more than 21 years, Patchington has partnered with our local communities to bring awareness to domestic violence and this year we intend to make an even bigger impact.
