“Many families have really struggled this year, from fears about food security, to dealing with prices of everyday goods that have skyrocketed,” said NCJW|MI’s President Amy Zeskind. “We are here to share the amazing donations our store gets from the community, with our extended community, at the lowest prices we can offer. Nobody wants gift-giving to cause hardship, so shopping at Council Re|Sale, can really help your budget go further.”
