Patrick and Joan Sheehy show some of the holiday-themed sweaters, sweatshirts and accessories Master Provisions will offer Saturday at two shopping locations. Shop at Master Provisions’ Borland Family Distribution Center in Florence or at Fairfield Christian Church, 745 Symmes Road, Fairfield.

Master Provisions is the place to shop to have a holiday-ready wardrobe.

On Saturday, Dec. 5, two shopping locations will offer a wide selection of holiday-themed sweaters, sweatshirts and other accessories. Shop at Master Provisions’ Borland Family Distribution Center in Florence or at Fairfield Christian Church, 745 Symmes Road, Fairfield. Hours for both locations are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Any remaining items will be available Dec. 7-11 at Master Provisions, located at 7725 Foundation Drive in Florence during regular business hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and while supplies last.

Need a Christmas sweater – ugly or otherwise – for a holiday get-together? Shop at one of two locations, one in Florence and one in Fairfield, Saturday to benefit Master Provisions.

“Throughout the year, Master Provisions retrieves holiday items from the thousands of pounds of clothing donated to us,” said Roger Babik. “Then in December, we host a Christmas Sweater Sale. Shoppers have fun and the proceeds help us do the most for the least.”

The sale began four years ago as Christmas sweater parties gained in popularity and as workplaces sponsored days for their employees to wear holiday attire. Each year, the event has grown with the help of Master Provisions volunteers.

There are no set prices for the items for sale. Shoppers are asked to make a donation to connect vital resources – food, clothing and orphan care – to people in need. Learn more at masterprovisions.org.

Master Provisions is a Christian organization that connects resources like food and clothing to people in need locally, regionally and globally in cooperation with strategic mission partners. Its main warehouse is located in Florence, Kentucky.
