Many individuals appreciate when someone gives their time or funds to help out an un-met need that they have, but few give back to their community to show that they are thankful for their time, energy and support. The Johnson family decided to not only give reciprocally, but open a thrift store to raise money and awareness. All of the money that is raised for this cause, is given to other children who are sick and need assistance. Uplifted and supported by the community, and carload after carload, this family has received tons of donations, in a very short period of existing.
There are a couple thrift stores in our community that are non-profit organizations, who give a percentage of their budget to other community organizations and create an engaging body of giving. These thrift stores are:
Treasure Trunk
Safari Seconds
Goodwill
Buffalo Exchange
Salvation Army
Go out and support these great businesses that give back and donate to the Denver community! For the link to this article please copy and paste this link onto your browser.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/29/family-opens-thrift-store_n_789180.html
