Great vibe. Record sales. Thank you.

Thank you to our generous donors, volunteers and shoppers. ❤️

JULY CLOTHING DRIVE: SUCCESS!

One North Thrift Store picking up from Just Plain Yoga Studio's Michele Einig. We had trouble getting us and the truckful of clothing in the photo because there's A LOT.
Michele is a yoga instructor at Just Plain Yoga Studio. This is her SECOND clothing drive for One North and WOW! We have J. Crew, Land's End, Birkenstocks, American Eagle, Prana, Frye and much, much more.
Michele also donates a class to Launch Pad Foundation to spread awareness and support young adults in her community.
Thank you to Just Plain Yoga Studio and Michele Einig for the love and the clothes!

Clothing is the #1 seller at One North Thrift Store. If you would like to organize a clothing drive at your office or in your community, we would love to talk to you. Volunteer organized drives yield 75% more sellable clothing and reduce waste cost to our nonprofit.
