Event Description:

Help St. Vincent DePaul Center sort and organize its thrift store treasures!

Thrift store treasure hunting is a valiant pursuit. Shoppers save money, and perfectly useable and wearable merchandise is given new life instead of taking up space in someone's closet or in a landfill. Best of all, purchases from the Nearly New Thrift Store benefit the good folks at St. Vincent DePaul Center and all the programs they run!

What we'll be doing:

One Brick volunteers will be helping to sort and organize donated clothes and household items to sell at the Nearly New Thrift Store. Sorting and socializing = One Brick specialities!
