Why:

Volunteers of America Michigan Thrift Stores not only have more than 3,000 new items on sale each day at a fraction of their original price to provide affordable shopping for the community, but 100% of the funds from the purchases at the stores directly support the nonprofit’s critical social services in our communities, which encompass a variety of support services for veterans, seniors, families and individuals with disabilities. National Thrift Shop Day is an opportunity for Volunteers of America Michigan to celebrate their customers with sales and more to bring the community together with the goal of raising money to support programs and services for individuals in our community in need.
