People who shop at and donate items to FashionPact select charities to receive 30% of the sale. “Knowing I’m having a real impact makes it worth it,” said owner Britanni Clancey.
Brittani Clancey, owner of FashionPact, organizes items at the location on East 68th Avenue in Anchorage. FashionPact Thrift Boutiques raised $250,000 for charities from sales of secondhand clothing in the last three years.
“I’ve never heard of this anywhere else in the world, and I’m extremely proud of that,” she said. “Growing up in Alaska, it seemed like we got everything last. We’d see Sonic and OIive Garden commercials and we couldn’t eat there. Now, I tell people Alaska got something first.” The animal welfare group has received about $15,000 from FashionPact, Donnelly said. The money arrives in monthly checks, providing steady income.
At the time, she was about to open her second spot, a small, upscale women’s boutique, in the King’s Row mall at 221 E. Dimond Blvd., northeast of the Costco campus. It’s a general family thrift shop, she said. It sells clothing, shoes, home goods and other items, including Halloween costumes. There’s a $1 section with dishware, movies, board games and arts supplies.
