Since 1980, dedicated member volunteers at Assistance League® Diablo Valley Thrift Shop, located next to the Park Theater in Lafayette, have improved lives in our community. The well-known landmark presently funds 15 hands-on programs. In addition, generous contributions from community businesses virtually compound the chapter’s client reach.

In 1978, Harper Greer, resplendent with a name evocative of art deco, came to life. In the ensuing years, now over 40, its creator, Terry Greer Kiskaddon, with her husband John Kiskaddon, have journeyed from designer to retailer. Their mission, to embrace every woman’s unique shape and size, remains constant.

Nestled in La Fiesta Square, Lafayette, Harper Greer continues a legacy of unparalleled service. Upon entering this well-known venue, a swirl of color, texture and female-friendly creations greet the discerning shopper. A plethora of accoutrements include the statement necklace, the three beaded necklace, flower earrings, dangle hoop earrings, the cocktail scarf and the must-have mini backpack.
