Thrifting Comes to Campus (formerly The Costume Sale)

Looking for something Halloween-y, fun, funky, or unusual?  

The Costume Sale is somewhat of a misnomer.  Sure, there are costumes, but there’s so much more that defies description one phrase can’t quite sum it up!  Think of it as a pop-up thrift store of treasures – jewelry, adult costumes, kids costumes, vintage, formal wear (current), hats, GLOVES (galore), shoes, furs (both real and faux), dog costumes (really), accessories, AND SO MUCH MORE!  Bring your imagination and sense of fun.

Reserved parking for community members is available in the circle in front of the Sadler Center (look for designated spaces).

Sale:
Tuesday, October 27 from 7 pm – 10 pm
Wednesday, October 28 from 10 am – 10 pm
Thursday, October 29 from 10 am – 3 pm

This event is sponsored by William & Mary’s Catholic Campus Ministry student group and brings together campus and community volunteers for the benefit of FISH, Williamsburg’s local food and clothing closet which assists community members who find themselves in need of more support www.fishwilliamsburg.org

All items are donations to FISH but fall into a category beyond necessity and daily use.  This event allows those donations to still benefit the organization in what has become one of the largest fundraisers for this local non-profit.  All of the proceeds from this annual event support FISH.  In past years, proceeds have helped pay the facility’s rent and also been used to purchase new items (like socks and underwear) or hard to find sizes of popular items (think pants -without knee tears – for boys between the ages of 6-10).

Find a treasure and support your community.  It’s a WIN-WIN for everyone! Follow The Costume Sale W&M Facebook page for updates
