Dressed by Vinnies Day is on Friday, October 26.
The national event encourages Port Macquarie-Hastings residents who love a fashionable bargain to visit their local Vinnies Shop, find something they love, wear it on the day and share a photo on social media by using the hashtag #DressedbyVinnies.
The theme for Dressed By Vinnies Day 2018 is ‘wear it and share it’.
Retail development manager for Vinnies NSW, Jacqui Dropulic, said being Dressed By Vinnies is easy, as thousands of people already know.
"This year we are encouraging our loyal customers, and people who may never have shopped at their local Vinnies, to uncover a fantastic fashion item – a dress, a shirt, shoes, or even a whole outfit – and show everyone what they found via social media," she said.
“When customers shop at Vinnies, they are also helping us provide assistance to 1.8 million men, women and children experiencing disadvantage in local communities.
Your dollars fund services like crisis accommodation, youth programs, food vans and migrant and refugee assistance.
