Description:

Everyone knows the feeling of walking into Goodwill or a thrift store and finding something for $1 that you don’t know how you ever lived without. But the truth is, millions of American families can only afford to shop at these used clothing and furniture stores.

Grab your group and head to your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, or thrift store and help organize, clean, and stock their racks so that they can better serve those in your community who rely on them for basic needs such as clothing. See if your group can bring some of their own excess clothing to donate!

You can even organize a “Thrifty Nifty Fashion Show” for after your service project. Ask your group members to bring $5 or less to spend, and see what kind of outfits they can pull together after they are finished helping out. Find a local park or head back to your facilities for a fashion show! Consider offering awards for “craziest,” “most original,” “cheapest,” and more.
