Thrifty's Wish for 2015

The year 2015 was quite a year for the East End Community Thrift! It was a coming out party, coming out from behind the dust clouds of Penn Avenue's destructive reconstruction, that is! It lasted for a very long time for us all, patrons and Thrifty volunteers.
On slow customer days the volunteer staff used the time to clean and think. We realized that one of the programs we cherish most is the Thrifty Voucher Program. It is actually the main purpose for our fair establishment. Thrifty's voucher program provides free clothing and essential household items to those clients served by local shelters and charitable organizations. We are able to substantially meet the needs of this population.....except for one thing. We never have much, certainly not enough, intimate apparel for all: men, women and children. Yes undies!!! We really wish we had fresh packs of under garments for individuals and families facing great need.
When you make up your Charitable Donations To-Do list for 2016, we would love you to please think of Thrifty in this regard! Unused underwear or a monetary donation toward this end would be much appreciated. Happy Holidays to all from the Volunteer staff of East End Community Thrift!
