Want to save a little money on new clothes and help a local charity?  The Patchington Store and Peace River Center have teamed up on a plan that will likely tempt the philanthropist and shopper in you.

Patchington Resort Fashions and Accessories, 1456 Town Center Drive in Lakeland, is holding a “Trade-In Sale” to benefit the Peace River Center’s domestic violence program. Here’s how it’ll work.  Beginning Tuesday, you can bring in your gently worn clothes and in exchange get a discount on new clothing.  All the traded in items will be donated to the Peace River Center, which provides domestic violence shelters and programs that help women and children who have been victimized by abusers.

The trade-in offer is going to run through Oct. 27.  Participants will receive allowances on comparable merchandise: $10 for tops, $15 for pants and skirts, and $20 for jackets and dresses.  For information, contact Patchington manager Alex Jonas at (863) 686-3640.
