Thank you for keeping the flow of donations and sales going these days If you were to travel from shop to shop (if only, eh?) and take a look at the behind-the-scenes activities happening you would find volunteers sorting donations, cleaning, re-stocking shelves, taking photos of current items to post online, filling online orders, and in some locations even doing personal shopping for you. * Due to quickly changing provincial/regional pandemic restrictions it is always best to contact your local MCC Thrift shop for the most up-to-date information regarding shopping and donation hours.

"MCC is extremely thankful for every MCC Thrift Volunteer. The skills, time and dedication of volunteers is illustrated each time a shop sends a financial gift ...to MCC. It takes many hands to make a thrift shop work hands that clean and price items, display merchandise on the sales floor, greet customers to complete sales, and meet as board members to carry out governance and legal duties. Each volunteer is special and MCC appreciates these volunteers every single day!" - Sarah Fleming, MCC Central States Thrift Shop Coordinator Moreover, despite all the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, MCC Thrift Shop management and staff have really worked hard to maintain a sense of community with volunteers and customers. We continue to value this this commitment and are forever grateful. Thank you. #mccpeace #mccThrift #mccThriftShop #VolunteerAppreciationWeek

Thrifted cozy spaces But seriously...can you imagine buying all of your furniture and decorations new? That would be (unnecessarily) pricey.

Ever stop to think about rather than being reused for craft + sewing projects? Unfortunately, we don't know how many actually end up in the landfill every year (would be an interesting stat if anyone finds info on that), but there's one thing we do know... THOUSANDS (maybe even millions!?) of buttons are diverted from the landfill through MCC Thrift shops every year, landing in the hands of creative people like you

Even if you’re only dressing up at home this year, there’s still time to make a costume. Use these punny ideas if you’re short on time. Or check out your local MCC Thrift shop for more inspiration. Graduation cap + cookie = smart cookie Dressy clothes + sign with "sorry" = a formal apology... A disguise + sign with "bless you" = a blessing in disguise A piece of bread + medals = breadwinner Butterfly wings + social media icons = social butterfly Do you have an idea? Let us know in the comments! (Photo was taken in 2018.)

Do you have a favourite thrifted mug? Celebrate #NationalCoffeeDay by showing us your "mugshot!" Post a photo of your mug in the comments and let us know which MCC Thrift shop you found it at. P.S. This coffee canister is also a thrifted find. Painting the lid and label gave it a fresh new look.

You're amazing. Every time you shop, donate and volunteer at MCC Thrift, you are supporting people in your neighbourhood and around the globe. These are just a few of the ways you are making a difference.

Thrift tip: Home decor doesn't have to be your favourite colour. When you're shopping for thrifted vases, look for sizes and shapes you like. It's easy to give them a new look with a fresh coat of paint that matches the rest of your decor. #MCCThrift #ThriftTip
