The Beaver County Humane Society has been in need of a new location for their animal shelter for some time now, but that is a lengthy story. In order to raise funds for the new building, one of the projects that the BCHS has taken on is to operate a thrift store. I have made donations here as well as made some purchases.
The store itself is rather small, but is organized in a way that the patron does not have to dig through piles of junk to find a treasure. All clothing is hung on a round rack and sorted by age group (children/youth/adult) and gender. There is also a rack for plus sized clothing.
The shelves contain various wonders that are grouped together by color or seasonal theme. When I stopped in a couple of weeks ago there was a wedding theme in one area. There are some books lined up on a shelf for easy browsing, and jewelry is kept on display under a glass counter.

It feels a bit empty walking in before you delve into the back part with all of the non-clothing/accessories, but even though it feels a bit empty, the merchandise on display is always clean and in good condition. I’ve never seen a stained shirt or broken object on sale there!
The staff is down-to-earth and friendly, and the older women never fail to make me smile and laugh. It’s always a party! I love this store and hope to...
