Seattle Goodwill has announced that its 36th Annual Glitter Sale will be its last. Proceeds from this annual event support Goodwill’s free Job Training and Education Programs for low-income and underserved people in the community, and over the past three decades the Glitter Sale has raised over $3 million dollars. The sale features formal wear for both men and women, shoes, handbags and boatloads of jewelry and accessories for holiday and special occasions. There are also special racks of designer, vintage and one-of-a-kind pieces. The Farewell Goodwill Glitter Sale will be held on November 9th and 10th from 9 am to 6 pm both days at the Seattle Goodwill Store.

“While the sale has been beloved tradition for the past 35 years, increasing costs over the years have reduced the total dollars we can raise for our mission and we believe that there are better ways to support our mission,” said Seattle Goodwill Vice President of Operations Funmi Popoola. “As we look to the future together, we will continue raising funds for free job training and education programs in the most innovative and effective ways possible. This means we will continue hosting The Glitter Gala and provide plenty of other opportunities for you to support our communities.”

After the 2019 Farewell Glitter Sale ends, customers will still have access to the designer and Glitter Sale items typically saved for the sale. The merchandise not sold over the weekend will be available in Goodwill stores throughout the north Puget Sound and throughout the year. You can find out more about this event, including ticket sales through their Facebook Page found here.
