Thrifting for Good

Welcome to Family Pathways Thrift Stores new blog Thrifting for Good.

There are a lot of reasons folks like to thrift. For some, it’s the thrill of the hunt—finding those unique items or a favorite collectible. Others are seeking treasures that complement their eclectic style. There are the crafters and DIYers who are looking for the next project. For many, it’s the simple pleasure of getting a good bargain. For Family Pathways shoppers, it’s also the satisfaction of knowing that every single purchase has a positive impact on our community.

In the coming months, we plan to feature a variety of topics on our blog. We’re going to start with a feature on one of our employees who is a thrifting master! We’ll show you how she scores big in back to school shopping, and you will be amazed by the costumes she creates for Comic Con using her thrift store finds. We hope to provide you with upcycling and craft ideas. Finally, the Thrifting for Good blog will be a forum to recognize our remarkable staff and volunteers.

We’d also love to invite our customers to participate.
