Our sister company ClarityHR was proud to sponsor the 18th annual “Taste of Vintage” event hosted by Goodwill of Akron. This event is an eagerly anticipated annual gathering that merges fashion, philanthropy, and community spirit. This unique event showcases an exquisite array of vintage fashion, taking attendees on a journey through decades of style, all while supporting Goodwill’s mission of empowering individuals through education, training, and job placement services.
Highlights of the 2024 Event
This year the guests at the event are treated to a stunning vintage runway show. The show highlighted hand-selected pieces that celebrate the artistry and timeless elegance of bygone eras. This year our own Alice Rhodes strutted her stuff on the runway. The fashion show is complemented by a curated shopping experience. Attendees were allowed to purchase standout vintage items featured on the runway. This provided a rare opportunity to find distinctive and sustainable additions to their wardrobe.
Beyond the fashion, the “Taste of Vintage” includes delicious offerings from local caterers and restaurants, adding a culinary delight to the night. With the support of sponsors and attendees, the event raises essential funds for Goodwill’s community programs. These programs are pivotal in assisting individuals facing barriers to employment, providing them with the resources and skills they need to succeed.
