Describe the challenge you want to address:

There is a lack of affordable retailers/thrift stores in the Flatbush area from Prospect South, West Midwood, South Midwood, and Little Haiti. I believe there are many ways people can shop locally, affordably, and fashionably.

What is the solution to the challenge?

A biweekly event in Flatbush, where clothing retailers in the local neighborhood can sell clothes in bulk to residents across the neighborhood. Retailers can apply online for applications to sell, and can earn a flat payment if they donate towards a free clothing pile during the event.
