"One Man’s Trash"

Have you heard the saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” This statement has never held more truth than when it comes to the Children’ Harbor Thrift Store. During my speaking engagements I have heard numerous stories from individuals who have happened upon some amazing “buys” during their visit to our campus store.

Get this; the perfect golf club for an amazing $5.00, a surround sound system for an unheard of $50.00 or better yet, the single plate purchased for $2.00 that was a perfect match to replace the broken piece in the family set of china. And then there is the local lake resident who furnished his entire cabin with furniture and items he purchased from the Thrift Store. I can go on and on with stories from individuals who are more than happy to tell you about their treasures.

My recent treasure find was 2 wrought iron chase lounges for $30 each! I am part of the growing crowd that "Love the Thrift Store!"

So, when you are thinking about throwing that slightly used item in the trash, remember someone may be looking for that very item to add to his or her treasures.

Note: All proceeds from the sell of these items go to support our mission. You can visit the Thrift Store on Friday and Saturdays from 10:00 am –4:00 pm. Debra Krauel is the Thrift Store manager and she can be contacted at (334) 857-2008
