This past Saturday, we hosted our very first Big Yellow Bus Thrift Tour Fundraiser, and it was an absolute success!

Not only did we fill every seat on the bus, but we even had vehicles following behind to help transport all of the amazing thrifted finds everyone found throughout the day!

More importantly, the group of people who joined us were truly incredible. It was wonderful to spend the day with such kind, fun, and enthusiastic people who all shared a love for thrifting while supporting our organization.

One of the best parts of the day was hearing so many participants tell us how much fun they had and that they would love to do it again. We're already talking about the possibility of another tour in the future, so stay tuned! đź‘€

A huge thank you to all of the businesses, shops, and organizations that helped make this event possible:

Seven years ago, The Outreach Connection opened its very first thrift store in Califon to help support the mission of our organization. Since then, so much has changed, including our move to Washington, which helped lead to the growth of both 31 Threads and the TOC Food Pantry!

Looking back on how far we’ve come, we thought there was no better way to celebrate this milestone than with all of you… so we will be having a 50% OFF sale!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Sale runs: 6/1 - 6/6
Sale exclusions: Glass case items, authenticated items, green & blue dot items.
Since the Anniversary Sale already has clothing marked 50% OFF, the additional 15% off first friday of the month student discount day cannot be combined with sale pricing.

We hope to see you there!

31 Threads Hours:
Monday: 11am - 5pm
Tuesday: 11am - 5pm
Friday: 11am - 7pm
Saturday: 10am - 5pm
