Assistance League Thrift Shop’s “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” Campaign

The dedicated member volunteers at the Assistance League® Thrift Shop at the Way Side Inn, located in Lafayette, have issued a “Call to Donations” by asking that you bring items that you no longer use to 3521 Golden Gate Way. As our lives continue to gravitate toward “the new normal,” venture through your pantries, linen closets, garages and storage sheds to gather those items that no longer serve you. Imagine the square footage you will recover!

The well-known landmark now boasts additional space for sorting, storing, pricing and displaying very much needed items to boost thrift shop sales, which in turn will fund Assistance League of Diablo Valley’s hands-on philanthropic programs.

Thank you for dropping off your donations Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., or until the collection bins are full. The apron-clad volunteers look forward to receiving such “gently used,” clean donations as clothing (women’s, men’s, children), active wear, shoes, handbags, accessories (hats, belts and scarves), and designer labels.

Likewise, household goods and decorations, dining and kitchen goods (cookware) and tools, framed art and paintings, fabric/yarn and sewing notions, wheeled suitcases, jewelry, books are most appreciated. While dropping off your donations, you might consider touring the shop, just for future reference.

As mentioned, thrift shop donations benefit Assistance League of Diablo Valley’s hands-on philanthropic programs. To learn more, please visit this website: assistanceleague.org/diablo-valley.
