Giving Kindly in Marblehead

Charity,

thrift-shopSince the very sweet ladies who work tirelessly to ensure the St. Michael’s Thrift Shop operates smoothly are too genteel to ask for donations, those in the Marblehead region who have a few coins to spare should take note. There are two stores: one at 20 Pleasant Street, and the other, a little further up the road at 149 Pleasant Street. Both need the assistance and kindness of locals.

Currently the stores are also in need of additional inventory, so for anyone in the area who has clothes, useful items, etc., take a stroll down Pleasant Street and help these amazing ladies out. At the same time, have a bit of a sort through to see if there is anything that catches your eye.

For those who want to help out but cannot do so financially, the ladies are always looking for volunteers to help work in the store – sorting through the bags that people bring in.
