The Thrift Store’s Opening Day

Wow, Augusta! What an amazing, exciting, overwhelming, and humbling response to our new building and grand opening. It was so nice to see so many new and familiar faces on opening day! With your time, talent, love, and support the Thrift Store had one if it’s best days ever — and we couldn’t be more thankful.
