Housing Works fuels the fight for access to healthcare and an end to homelessness through fashion. Our 10 NYC-based Thrift Shops and eShop directly support our trailblazing services for vulnerable New Yorkers. We proudly call this “retail activism”.

For over 20 years, Fashion for Action has brought leading retailers, top brands, style icons, and celebrity influencers from around the country to support our lifesaving work. On November 12 - 15, the benefit is back at our flagship Thrift Shop in Chelsea, NYC, and it’s slated to be the best yet! Guests will shop an inspiring selection of new apparel and accessories—donated by top brands and style icons—offered at 50–80% off retail, both in-store and online.

Our 2025 lineup of Co-Chairs, Closet Curators, and Donating Brands will be announced soon. They will join the ranks of past event leaders including last year's Co-Chairs: Nigel Barker, Mickey Boardman, Lorraine Bracco, Laura Brown, Patricia Clarkson, Debbie Harry, Misa Hylton, Kesha McLeod, Cameron Silver, and Todd Snyder. Click here for more pics from last year's event.

To date, Fashion for Action has raised over $10 million for Housing Works' mission. We hope you can participate and support our lifesaving work!
