Buy the Bag

Back by popular demand, Housing Works wants you to BUY THE BAG! You give us $25 and we will give you a bag to fill up with clothes, accessories and everything in between from our amazing warehouse in Long Island City. The clothing ranges from items that may need to be laundered or repaired, to designer items that just need a little love!

All you can stuff BUY THE BAG shopping starts at 11:00am, but if you want first dibs, join us for Power Hour from 10:00-11:00am. Tickets are just an additional $5 donation per person and may be purchased at NOON the Monday prior to each sale. Only 100 Power Hour tickets are available, get yours before they are sold out.

Free general admission begins at 11:00 am.
