i went to the mostly clothing focused thrift store yesterday with the primary motivation of…read moredropping off some clothes as a donation. the donation dropoff is as convenient as i've seen at any place, with the dropoff location being an open window with a ledge counter, on the northeast exterior of the store, with the window having been open every experience i've had visiting the store during operating hours. furthermore, having travelled a little out of the way to dropoff the donation, i'd decided to shop in the store while i was there. although i've been to the store before to browse for miscellaneous clothing, i looked with more intention yesterday for clothing from the specific brands featured at the retail store where i'm working. and though i did not find any clothes by the specific for which i'd searched, i found a couple good quality, decorative hats to give as gifts, as i've found a hat is a clothing item that serves as an appropriate gift when you are uncertain about the size your recipient wears. and lastly, as commentary to the overall quality and selection at the store, i'll say the selection is large and good quality, though leaning toward one of a kind, miscellaneous clothing, especially regarding shirts, rather than specific brands. and further, the store offers a variety of products alongside the clothing, including assorted household appliances, books, and home decor.

Prices were consistent. They do certain color stickers are half off every day of the month. There will be a sign at the front of the store showing you what colors are half off. There were a lot of people which makes me hopeful there is high turn over in their stock of items. Managers special was 25 cent children's books today which was a great deal! I will be back.

Taylor Hanson started it in 2014 after being inspired by U.N. Ambassador Edward J. Perkins (he oversaw the end of South Africa's apartheid government and the release of Nelson Mandela while serving as the US Ambassador to South Africa). They host mobile food events and foster the return of permanent grocery stores and healthy food systems. Their monthly Community Events bring together partners, health resources, and have a pay-as-you-can model for fresh produce and prepared meals. They make it fun by having local DJs, food trucks, art classes, and more. They also have community gardens and teach an afterschool program in schools focused on teaching innovative urban farming systems, like hydroponics. I'm super excited for them to build their Food Home, which will be a community space with a market, urban farm, and food hub. I learn so much about the importance of micro greens and sustainable food practices from them.
