To Our Friends of the Shop — Thank You
Every donation, hour volunteered, and treasure purchased helps our neighbors. This post is our simple, heartfelt thank‑you.
Who Are the Friends of the Shop?
“Friends of the Shop” includes everyone who helps our nonprofit thrift store thrive: the donors who clean out closets,
the volunteers who sort and stage with care, the shoppers who choose secondhand first, and the community partners who
cheer us on. If you’ve carried a box to our door, straightened a rack, shared a social post, or told a friend to visit,
you are part of this circle of generosity.
“I give because I know it goes right back into the community.”
What Your Support Makes Possible
Together, you turn everyday items into practical help and real hope. Your generosity allows us to:
- Offer fair prices on essentials for families and students.
- Local Charities that support children and families.
- Reduce waste by keeping quality goods in circulation and out of landfills.
- Create a warm, welcoming space where people find both great finds and great community.
Thank You, Donors
Your gently used clothing, books, kitchenware, toys, décor, and small furniture give second life to good things—and first
chances to new stories. You make it possible for a graduate to find interview attire, a family to furnish a living room
on a budget, and a reader to discover a favorite book for a dollar. Every box matters.
Thank You, Volunteers
You are the heartbeat of the shop. From sorting and pricing to greeting guests and tidying displays, you bring kindness
to every task. Your consistency keeps the shelves fresh, the atmosphere welcoming, and the mission moving forward.
Whether you give an hour a month or several each week, you make an outsized difference.
Thank You, Shoppers
Your treasure hunts fuel our work. Choosing us first—before buying new—stretches your budget and supports your
neighbors. You prove that sustainability can be joyful, practical, and stylish. Thanks for telling friends, sharing
finds, and coming back often.
Thank You, Community Partners
Local businesses, schools, faith groups, and civic organizations amplify our impact with letting their supporters know, posting a flyer for us or putting our information in their newsletter or bulletin. Your collaboration helps us respond quickly to community needs and plan for the future.

From All of Us—Thanks
