Thrift Store Garage Adds a Heated Sorting Room:
Our Amazing Thrift Store volunteers have spent the last few years FREEZING in the Garage sorting and pricing donations through the fall, winter, and early spring. Over the summer/fall, we have added an addition to our six bay garage, providing a warmer spot for our volunteers to manage all the generous donations that come to us. Anything we can do to make our amazing volunteers happy!
