Loving others - Project 2.5 - Donations in Reverse

Donations In reverse –

We went thrift store shopping.  In our family it is a pretty normal thing for the aunts and nieces and daughters and moms to get together for the day and thrift store shop.  It’s just fun to shop together and find things you may not expect. 

Although we have a thrift store of choice, today we shopped at a variety.  We simply traveled a short distance down Hwy 6 and were able to hit multiple places that all support people in need.  We literally hit four places in two miles.  Thrift stores help raise money for organizations, employ people and teach them job skills,  keeps trash out of our landfills by allowing us to reuse the items others no longer want, provides a fun treasure hunt adventure and  saves us money.
