Farmingville, NY – Dress for Success Brookhaven’s first pop up sale at 46 East Main Street in Patchogue Village was very successful and created more awareness for its programs. It started with a well-attended preview sale on Wednesday, August 1, hosted by Toast Coffeehouse that included media, shoppers and elected officials. It continued the next day at Patchogue’s “Alive After Five” street fair and lasted through Saturday, August 3. All proceeds from the sale go directly to Dress for Success Brookhaven programs. The mission of these programs is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools necessary to help women thrive in work and in life.
