Affordable
Clothing: Something Old Something New is
stocked entirely by donated goods,
primarily for the benefit of our clients and other low income
residents of downtown Seattle. We seek to maintain a supply of durable
clothing and shoes.
Household
Goods: DESC
provides affordable stable housing with wraparound services for nearly
600 formerly homeless men and women. Many of these
individuals are establishing a home for the first time in years,
often without the most basic items — bedding, pots and pans,
dishware, cooking utensils. Something
Old Something New is a useful resource for
these individuals.
All
Shoppers Welcome: At Something
Old Something New who knows what
treasures you will find among the books, record albums, clothing and
decorative items. Stop by on your way home or on your lunch hour.
Job
Skills Training:
The store also
functions as a pre-vocational rehabilitation program for a handful of
clients enrolled in other DESC programs.
Clients gain on-site vocational experience as volunteers or as formal
trainees. Clients involved in this program receive valuable training
to enhance their basic job skills and prepare them for other retail
employment.
