Donations = Giving Back

It’s simple: your donations are sold at great value to those who need them, and the proceeds return to the Foothill Communities. Our partners, like the Lake Avenue Community Foundation, turn these funds into programs that support kids, teens, and adults alike.

100% of our net proceeds go back to the community!

It may not be something you think about every day, but at ACTS Thrift we think about ourselves as a form of recycling for the community. You and the rest of our neighbors bring us well-loved clothes, home goods, toys, books and whatever it is you no longer need, and we provide those things back to people who need or want them for just a few bucks. And all of those dollars you spend go back to the community to organizations, partners and your local ACTS employees. It’s a virtuous circle of giving, buying and giving that helps everyone in Pasadena and the surrounding area. See, recycling into reuse into dollars into community.
