Celebrate National Thrift Shop Day on August 17 by exploring your local thrift stores!
Whether you are a seasoned thrift shopper or new to the experience, you can celebrate this annual sustainable holiday, which promotes the reuse of textiles, electronics, home décor, and more. The day of recognition encourages people to visit local thrift shops to find unique and affordable treasures while supporting charitable causes like Planet Aid.
Planet Aid Thrift Store in Rockville, Maryland, is a subsidiary of our nonprofit organization Planet Aid. On National Thrift Shop Day, join us in celebrating Planet Aid’s mission to provide accessible ways to help people and the planet.
Planet Aid Thrift Store fulfills the organization’s mission by funding global and local development projects dedicated to improving people’s lives through sustainable initiatives, including health, agriculture, education, and community development.
The Rockville store also helps protect the planet by accepting thousands of pounds of perfectly usable donations that may have otherwise ended up in landfills. The store offers a wide range of gently used clothing, shoes, and household items at affordable prices.
If you are in the Maryland, Washington, D.C., or Northern Virginia area, visit the Planet Aid Thrift store this National Thrift Shop Day. It’s an eco-friendly choice for donors and shoppers. And it is also a meaningful way to contribute to the circular economy, both locally and globally.
