Gift #54 Let’s Go Thriftin’
November 8, 2009
- M.C.C. Thrift Store
How great are thrift shops?
We love ‘em, not only for the great finds, but also for the anticipation of great finds. Thrifting is the equivalent of a treasure hunt, and Vancouver has no shortage of buried treasure.
Many thrift shops are also supporters of great causes. One of our favourites is the Mennonite Central Committee (M.C.C.) Thrift Shop .
The MCC website makes a solid case for thrifting. It respects the environment (less clothes in landfills), respects the wallet (fraction of the cost of new), and supports our world (profits are used for relief, peace, and justice projects).
If you found today’s Guerrilla Gift, maybe you can use it to buy a hipster tie, or a fedora hat, or an old Jane Fonda workout video 
. Blessings to you.
