On Friday, April 26, the Lilly Pulitzer shop at 600 Front Street in Key West will donate 10% of all sales to A Positive Step of Monroe County to help fund the “Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program,” a program partially supported by and run in partnership with the City of Key West.

Each year, the City provides jobs for young people enrolled in the “Idle Hands Summer Youth Employment Program.” The City also provides $35,000.00 towards the approx. $100,000 program budget; APSMC must raise the remainder, which covers student payroll, program overhead, the cost of a job coach and training/orientation expenses. So come to Lilly Pulitzer on April 26 and celebrate spring in Paradise with some colorful new clothes, while supporting a great program for our island community’s youth.
