ACTS Thrift Needs Your Used Items NOW!

by Jerry Nielsen on September 18, 2010

ACTS Thrift has had an amazing start. Demand for gently used clothing and other items has been greater than we had anticipated. At our current rate, we need 20 containers like the one pictured below full of donated items each WEEK!

Please take a look through your closet, attic, or garage for items that you no longer need and put them to good use by either dropping them off at ACTS Thrift Shop or calling 626.577.4477 to schedule a pickup.
