  16. Where Thrift Stores Fit

  17. Beyond the millions of secondhand goods given new life with new owners, the result of the rise of the thrift shop has been “unprecedented profitability” for Christian community organizations. Perhaps more transformational, though — and certainly more controversial — is the impact such stores have had on humanitarianism: the thrift store, more than any other analogue, “linked charity to capitalism decades before the ‘nonprofit sector’ had been so designated.” � Source: “Not Charity, but a Chance”: Philanthropic Capitalism and the Rise of American Thrift Stores, 1894-1930” by Jennifer Le Zotte, New England Quarterly, June 2013.

  18. Where Thrift Stores Fit + Sense of Belonging + Genuine Need + Real relationships + Pride in Community

  19. Making the Connection • Move to more sustainable living - Why buy new when there’s an abundance of used? - Why throw out clothes when someone else can use them? • Joy of the fi nd - Only one of that special item, just for you - The smaller the community, the better the potential fi nds • Act of Rebellion - Avid “thrifters” not as concerned with the mainstream culture • Community Hub - Many touch points: donations, supporting local causes, selling goods, employing local people • Good business model - Low to no Cost of Goods Sold
