TBC is a thrift store that supports women with problems- whether it be substance abuse, past familial abuse, or emotional issues. I love the fact that its focus is women.
TBC has petite to plus sizes for women and juniors. Clothes are arranged by category and size. I saw beautiful stuff! Make sure to check your picks before purchase. You can try them on in the bathroom/dressing room. Do not let that turn you off- it is very clean. TBC also has shoes, scarves, jewelry, belts, bags, and a smaller room dedicated to knickknacks, men's clothing, and books. My husband found a nice pair of Haggar pants for one buck, yes one buck! Ronni found a "Betty and Veronica" mini-comic.
The volunteer there was very sweet. She told us that anything with an "April" tag was one buck. We went at the very end of May, and of course I was picking stuff with "June" tags. Thus, we spent three bucks per item.
I like this place, as I can just focus on myself and my older daughter. It is not huge. It is not overwhelming.
Donations are accepted whenever the store is open. I saw at least eight filled kitchen-sized trash bags that someone had dropped off, so keep that in mind. Donations are tax deductible. Volunteers are always needed.
Check out their Facebook page to see their stuff. If you go, they are in the West Sylva plaza, right near "Harold's". Monday through Friday: ten to five; Saturday: ten to three. Sunday is a day of rest.
