Today is ABC Wednesday and our causes for "R" are the three green R's: Reduce, reuse, recycle. If you want to reduce the clutter in your life, there is no better place to take items than the Salvation Army Family Store at 307 West Lee Street. If you are not against reusing clothing, the Salvation Army has plenty to choose from among the racks. Recently, the store got a face lift and it is clean, bright, and well organized. Clothing is sorted by color and type. All clothing is $2.50, unless is is on the half price rack at $1.25, a real bargain by thrifting standards. The Salvation Army does so much for the Greensboro community* and Greensboro's own Mr. Peter Vanstory served on the board of the Salvation Army for over 35 years. Even though it is a national organization, when you work with the local branch, it feels very local.
Even if you don't shop thrift stores, you owe it to yourself to donate goods there. If you have time, stop in and say hello to the people working the counter. They are kind, gentle, humble people. If you never get downtown, consider their upscale, Lake Jeanette location. How about from now until at least the end of the month, let's all reduce and recycle at least once!

Hurray for the Salvation Army. That is a big store, my local thrift store would love a space like that.
