Thrifts and Gifts is looking for gently used and clean donations for us to sell in the shop - which could include linens, kitchenware, table dressings, everyday decorations, jewelry, men’s & women’s clothing, outwear and footwear. Please donate items that you would re-gift to a family member or that you would buy for yourself at a thrift store. You may bring your donations to the church Fellowship Hall on Thursday mornings between 10 - 1:00 or during our open shopping hours (Fridays and Saturdays 10AM – 3PM).
Thank you to all our volunteers, donators and shoppers! As a reminder, all funds generated by Thrifts and Gifts go directly to the church’s operating budget in support of all the good work being done.
