Today is National Thrift Store Day!

Celebrated on August 17th each year, this date spotlights second-hand shops, resale stores, thrift boutiques, etc. Whatever you call them, they are part of our retail world - and they are most often found right where you live.

However, while this could be considered a retail holiday, such stores are really so much more than that. Many second-hand shops are operated by nonprofits and charities in your own community, who use the funds collected to do good right where you live. It's a great benefit to spend "where it means more" and help support worthy causes.

I came across a post that mirrored something I wrote about this morning - how resale & thrift shops make a difference right in the local community. So well said by Halo's Rescued Treasures Thriftique in Sebastian, Florida! See the post on Facebook here.
