OCHS celebrates National Thrift Day today In celebration of National Thrift Day on Saturday, Aug. 17, Oregon Coast Humane Society (OCHS) is pleased to share some exciting up- dates about its thrift store located at 1193 Bay St. in Historic Old Town Florence. “We are very excited to be part of the Florence Old Town neighborhood,” says Lynne Dixon, the store’s new manager. “And we want OCHS Thrift Store to be a destination for locals and visitors. We have daily specials on various items, and we now offer a senior discount of 10 percent on the first Tuesday of each month.” In recent weeks, the OCHS Thrift Store has been reorganizing and resorting its inventory to improve the shopping experience for customers. The store is restocking and turning in- ventory more often, endeav- oring to make every visit a fresh and fun experience with lots of new treasures and finds available. The OCHS thrift store stocks a full range of prod- ucts at affordable prices, and has a convenient donation process. The selection of mer- chandise will appeal to shoppers looking for casual and affordable clothing and accessories for adults and children, and of course pets. The store also carries a wide range of furniture, home goods, kitchen ware, greet- ing cards, games, books, and collectibles. In addition, the store also runs an eBay store online which is used to sell fine treasures and antiques. Donations are always needed, especially of gently used clothes, furniture and Christmas items, that will help OCHS run their ev- er-popular Christmas Store during November. Dona- tions are accepted during store opening hours. “We have been very fo- cused on improving the store and are very happy to invite everyone to come and check out the new furniture SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY AUGUST 17 AUGUST 18 AUGUST 19 AUGUST 20 Mostly Sunny Sunny 72°F 56°F 71°F 57°F area, the new look lobby and all our great merchandise,” said Mark Curran, OCHS Executive Director. “Funds raised at our thrift store en- able us to provide important services to homeless and at-risk cats and dogs in our community. While we take pride in being a great thrift store, it’s important to un- derscore that donating to and shopping at our store translates directly into help- ing local animals. Every dol- lar raised helps!” The store’s summer hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon- day, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday, with ex- tended hours on Tuesdays until 6 p.m. Sunday hours are noon to 4 p.m. Donation collections may be arranged upon request.
