Today Friday, February 11, I’m participating in a virtual Galentine celebration for Uncommon Threads Boutique. Why? “It’s a day for celebrating, ladies.”
Valentine’s Day is not just for couples but gal pals looking to celebrate one another, hence Galentine’s Day.
The unofficial Galentine Day started from a 2014 episode from the former Park & Recreation character, Lesley Knope (Amy Poehler). Since 2014 the dubious Day picked up momentum with annual recognition and celebrations.
First, more about Uncommon Threads. Uncommon Threads’ is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering economically challenged women through fashion and holistic nurturing. Susan Kanoff, the founder, started this innovative idea back in 2016, recognizing the strength and beauty of every woman regardless of her income status.
Uncommon Threads touches the lives of more than 1,200 financially challenged women each year through the following empowerment programs and services:
♠ Self-Esteem Styling
♥ Workforce Styling
♦ Women’s Empowerment Center
♣ Bundle Up & Emergency Clothing
The Uncommon Threads brand gains tremendous momentum with the Uncommon Influence Instagram group. How? Expanding the program’s reach for donations and purchasing preloved items online or in-person.
