How to Celebrate National Thrift Shop Day the Goodwill Way
National Thrift Shop Day is a fun way to support sustainable shopping and find unique items at great prices. It’s also a day meant to raise awareness for local thrift shops like Goodwill, which provide vital services to our community.
National Thrift Shop Day is recognized nationwide each year on August 17 “” and at Ohio Valley Goodwill, we never miss a reason to celebrate the joy of thrifting!
Here’s how you can join in the fun with Ohio Valley Goodwill:
Create a Thrifting Challenge
Since it’s a national holiday, add something special to your thrift shop outing! Create a contest with your friends to see who can find the most interesting, valuable, or creative item within a budget at your nearest Goodwill thrift store.
Or, put together a fashion show and challenge your friends to create a stylish look using only things found at a Goodwill thrift store. Make an event of the show, then share the fun on social media and tag us (@cincigoodwill)!
