Evansville Is Getting a New Thrift Store That Will Help Save Homeless Pets
Thrift shopping is all the rage these days. When I was a kid, you didn’t want to be caught dead in a consignment or thrift store. Now it’s hip and cool to support sustainability, save money, and shop local. Just this week, I found a brand new pair of Aldo shoes for my husband for just $7! That’s the kind of find that keeps me coming back.
These days, thrifting feels more like a treasure hunt. Sure, the rise of resellers means there’s a little more competition, but we also live in a world of overconsumption. We have an endless supply of inexpensive things, and eventually, all of it has to go somewhere. That’s one reason thrift stores are more important than ever.
Evansville Has Plenty of Great Thrift Stores
Many local nonprofits have discovered just how much of a difference a thrift store can make to their mission. Here in Evansville, shoppers already have several great options, including Goodwill Industries, the Evansville Christian Life Center Thrift Store, the World Wide Missions Store, Habitat ReStore, Petunia’s Resale, and Happy Tails Resale.
Now, another thrift store is joining the list, and it’s one animal lovers will definitely want to support.
