Thrifty Threads’ volunteers made a tremendous impact in the community over the past year. Thousands of pounds of clothing were diverted from the landfill and donated to local organizations, including foster homes, social work agencies, domestic violence shelters and community assistance organizations.
Also, the store’s 2023 year-end total amounts to an incredible $99,758.67!
