Shopping day with AMHstyle and Youville

Friday June 17th, the AMHstyle team had the opportunity to bring a smile to the girls at the Youville Centre. What could be a better present than new clothes, shoes and accessories?

At AMHstyle we give our consignors the opportunity to donate their clothes that aren’t quite the right fit for the store to a charitable organization. Our first donation went to the Youville centre in downtown Ottawa. The Youville Centre focuses on helping young single mothers, giving them the tools they need for a brighter future. From high school education and parenting courses, to an in house day care, the centre has proven to be a necessary home away from home for these young ladies.  And it was our pleasure to bring them everything from designer jeans to flip flops.
 

The girls first dove into the sunglasses and flip flops, donated by Dress it Up. Then came the jeans, tops, shoes and bags. In one lunch hour we had found almost every article a new loving owner. It was equally fun and exciting for us as it was for the girls.  
 




From the set up of the racks and tables full of goodies to watching them empty, the Youville Centre day was a complete success. And we were so happy to be a part of it all.
