Donating for our Thrift Pop-up Sales

When we receive donations of goods, our first priority is always the needs of our program participants. However, our donors are very generous and we often receive more donations than our participants can use. We also receive items that may not be appropriate for our particular program participants. However, we value that our donors intend the items to benefit TLR programs, so we host popup thrift sales to sell these items and raise essential funds for our programs. These sales help keep TLR independent, minimizing reliance on government grants and funds, allowing us to provide programs and services that meet participant needs without unnecessary funding restrictions.
