Love this place, and they support so many great local charities! The volunteers are helpful, very nice, and the store is well organized. Right now - TONS of Christmas stuff, as you can see in the photos. My haul for today - in the last photo I think - was a teardrop wreath with ornaments for Mom's room at a nursing home, a really cute cookie jar (okay, I didn't NEED another one but it's so cute), and some nice, hardly worn Adidas walking shoes for $6! Can't beat that!
Thank you Diana - so glad you found some good items. And thank you for helping us help the community.
