If you know of a location that might work, email Holly Kaye at: hokaye@aol.com. Vintage Thrift was founded 17 years ago by her late husband, Gene Golombek, as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit corporation. They provide tax receipts for all donations and give away all profits to other nonprofit organizations that help the needy on the Lower East Side – more than $1 million in the last decade.
