Want to do something good with your hand-me-downs? Dump the shmatas you are too old for and last season’s ruffle skirts so an at-risk teen can have clothes for school and play. Reach into your hearts (and closets) for a teen in need and make like a mensch. It’s hard enough being a teenager, forget about worrying if you have enough clothing for school. Atlanta readers, check out this weeks event below thrown by our homegirls at cute boutique (where nothing is over $100!) Fab’rik. Readers in all other States, check out the list below. We promise, it’ll feel better than a facial.
