Hey Dale, can we go thrift shopping? wut wut...It's been a while, so queue this up and crank it while you read! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK8mJJJvaes
A sure result of all the hipsters out there "poppin' tags," but I had trouble finding anything that would really fit me at this thrift store. You're not to blame - that ice on the fringe IS so damn frosty. Stopping to think about it that's actually pretty cool problem to have, people. Thrift shopping is popular enough that in the gigantic, well lit and well laid out store I couldn't really find any "finds".
Not only are people shopping the heck out of this place, they're also supporting humanitarian causes.
Actually, wait... what "humanitarian cause" is it? Umm... nothing really says. Let do some digging, shall we?
According to their website, "the net proceeds from our thrift store help support humanitarian and mission endeavors worldwide." Hmm... well that's not really giving us much, is it?
"World Serve supports World Serve Ministries of Canada" - There it is! Want to find out what they do? I do. Let's!
"WorldServe has been called by God to advance the Gospel in closed and hard-to-reach nations and to impact those nations for Christ... We want to provide copies of God's Word to our ministry partners in places around the world where it's difficult if not impossible to get Bibles."
Looking back at the store logo, it is clearly a crucifix. Suddenly it all makes sense.
Happy we've now got at least some transparency on what a the humanitarian cause is. If you'd like to learn more about them, the website is: http://www.worldserve.ca/
For the most part, the products that are available were really... safe, for lack of a better word. I just wanna knowin' about wearing a wolf on my noggin. I just wanna knowin' about wearin' a fur fox skin. But nothing like that. Nothing too cool, crazy and interesting, just a very "safe" thrift store.
But a well organized, well stocked and clean one at that. And it even helps support a cause! read more
