Thank You LA Series from UNIQLO

Before the Thank You series, on December 9, UNIQLO is having its “A Warm Gesture” program – providing hundreds of homeless children around the country with a holiday shopping spree – in Los Angeles at UNIQLO’s Beverly Center store, where 40 kids from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) will get to shop for a winter wardrobe or gifts for their family and will get to meet Pharrel Williams. That is a private event, no entry for the public.

Starting Dec 13 a series of special events will be taking place through UNIQLO LA based stores for LA's citizens. Head to any of the UNIQLO stores to get tickets, food and prizes. It's first come, first serve. You might want to call the store you're headed to for the exact item, tickets or prize you want before heading out.
