Buy Local

Our Carrboro and Online Thrift Shops are filled with clothes, household goods, and unique items for sale. Your purchase helps to support our mission of funding educational and community investments.

“Buying locally sustains the unique character and quality of life of your community. Beyond the economic impact of your spending, buying locally supports the businesses that reinvest in your community’s social and environmental well-being. Orange County businesses give generously to area churches and nonprofits and enhance the social welfare of friends and neighbors.”

“Dollars spent at a local business are reinvested in your community’s employees through wages and reinvested in other organizations through the purchase of legal, accounting and other business services. And by purchasing from local businesses, you (and the goods you purchase) travel fewer miles, saving you time, gas money, and carbon emissions.”
