The Domain selected DoubleTake ATX, a curated resale and gift shop, to collect the denim and have all sales in its store go toward benefitting the Center for Child Protection.
Visitors may drop off their items with volunteers from DoubleTake ATX in the area between Aritzia and Sweet Paris. Each person who donates will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card. In addition, Dream Booth ATX will be on site with a photo booth for visitors to enjoy and encourage participation in the denim drive.
“We will be out there collecting denim pieces, whether they’re jackets, shorts, jeans, all afternoon from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday. Then The Domain will give each person a $5 Starbucks gift card in exchange for their donation,” said Lynne Skinner, the general manager of DoubleTake ATX.
The Center for Child Protection is a part of the Travis County Children’s Advocacy Center, which is nationwide. It works to reduce the trauma of children who have been through physical abuse, sexual abuse, witnessing violent crimes and neglect.
