Before going to the food bank on Saturday, I took some friends and we went on a little drive to Marin's Attic. Marin's Attic is a thrift shop where all the proceeds go to domestic violence programs. I had recently cleaned out my closet and needed to give the clothes away so I thought this would be the perfect place! I had 2 bags of clothing that I was able to bring. While we were there we also shopped and looked around. They had information about what domestic violence is in little places throughout the store and you could definitely tell what their mission was, and I loved that. Apparently when we went they were having a sale and the entire store was 50% off!! I remembered that I needed some dress pants and a blazer for school and was able to get it for $15! (I was very excited about this!) I think they've maybe been worn once if at all! Anna and Alice (the 2 friends that went with me) also made out great! We all together bought 8 things and didn't spend over $40! Everyone there was also very nice and helpful :)
I strongly suggest looking into thrift shops and clothing stores that have a meaning before going out. This way your money will go to charity rather than just a business. It will help people and benefit you with a new purchase. If you have clothing or something you want to get rid of, you should consider donating to one of them. Normally places like this won't take worn clothing, so keep that in mind if you're planning on donating. Look up thrift shops near you and see which ones actually benefit others, I think you might be surprised. It's a fun experience and you get to see a new place! I included Marin's Attic's website below... they have 2 thrift stores (also Laurel's Loft) so you'll also see that on the website too:)
