Every locally-owned business plays a crucial role in supporting and uplifting your local community. From non-chain restaurants, general stores, vehicle repair shops, and more, each helps your family, friends, and neighbors in every aspect of their day-to-day lives by elevating the overall quality of life within your community. The same can be said of your local thrift store. Thrift stores provide avenues for you to directly give back to your community daily. 

Helps Give Back To Those Around Us

Many local thrift stores like Community Family Thrift build their collections based on donations of new and lightly used items given to them by our neighbors. While you could sell unwanted items or just send them to the dump if they’re in good condition, why not help out those in need? From lightly worn clothes to full bedroom furniture sets, you could make a serious impact on the lives of families right around you. Donating unwanted items to your local thrift store means that item gets a second chance to make a difference for someone who couldn’t afford it otherwise, which helps your community as a whole. 

Outfitting Families And Homes For Lower Prices 

One of the biggest benefits that your local thrift store can provide to families in need is the ability to completely outfit them for the lowest possible prices. Thrift stores such as Community Family Thrift can offer essentials like clothing, furniture, and appliances for families of all sizes, at affordable prices that can’t be beaten elsewhere. While some stores have set inventories, Community Family Thrift’s store locations have a constantly rotating set of items throughout each one thanks to our community members, giving families in need an opportunity to enjoy the same style of shopping the rest of the community can.

Shop Local Vs Big Box

Your local thrift store plays a key role in helping your community thrive and grow by assisting families in need. Thrift stores are run, operated, and maintained by those in our neighborhoods. Big box retailers typically offer items at higher prices that may not even be top quality. Where big-box retailers are focused solely on profits, Community Family Thrift and other local thrift stores aim to only provide high-quality items at prices that aren’t going to break the bank. They also tend to get a robust selection of exotic items you can’t find at any retailer, while still beating their prices time and time again. 

When you shop locally vs online and physical big-box retailers, you’re helping your community thrive. Community Family Thrift is the leading local thrift store for many South Floridians, assisting countless families every day.
