Alright.

Thanks for supporting Spirit of Youth.

Hi.

My name is Brittani Clancey, and I am the founder of Fashion Pact.

I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, I love thrifting.

I just love having something different because then on top of not having a lot of thrifting in Alaska, there just wasn't a lot of shopping, period.

Fashion Pact came to me over a span of several years.

and I was a stay at home mom for ten years before I did this.

So it definitely marinated in my mind for a while before I jumped in and opened this thrift thrift shop.

Fashion Pact is a thrift store that raises money for local nonprofits and empowers individuals to support the charity or the cause that is important and dear to them.

So the way Fashion Pact works is extremely original for a thrift store.

We use some high end technology, somebody can come in and they donate items, they designate a charity.

Each item that they bring in is coded with a QR code.

And then that ties back to the charity that they chose.

When that specific item sells, another person chooses a charity.

So, go ahead and choose a charity to your purchase will support.

all in all we give 30% of each purchase back to charity.

Fashion Pact has already donated $375,000 to local nonprofits.

So right now we have a list of about 100 nonprofits that people have to choose from when they shop at Fashion Pact.

The list has grown.

We started with a dozen, and we've added more on right now.

Our list of charities you can choose from is only local grassroot Alaskan charities.

We hope as we grow that we can be more inclusive and have even more charities join us as partners.

My motivation to give back comes from just my love of my community.

I grew up, you know, behind the cash registers.

So I think that that aspect of talking to people every day and just being feeling a part of the community, was just has been with me for a long time.

And so it seemed like a natural next step for me.

I believe just in, you know, serving your neighbor, love one another.

Those key principles mean everything to me.

And, you know, couple that with my love of the community and it's I want to leave this earth better than I found it.

I know my time here is limited.

And so while I'm here, I hope to make it A better place for everyone.
