Elkridge, Maryland (PRWEB) July 05, 2016 -- The Planet Aid Thrift Center announced today that it served its 50,000th customer over the holiday weekend. “We are proud that we have been so warmly received by the community,” said Thrift Center regional manager Tom Gentry, “so many shop regularly at the store and we make sure new and returning customers alike get the very best service and attention.”
The Planet Aid Thrift Center accepts donations of lightly used clothing, accessories, shoes, books, games, home décor and more. Thousands of items are displayed at the 32,000-square-foot thrift center, all of which are for sale at a reasonable price. The proceeds from the sales support international development projects in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
In addition to the Thrift Center, Planet Aid has thousands of yellow clothing donation bins in 21 states across the continental United States. Unwanted clothing and textiles dropped into those bins are recycled and sold, and the money raised from this also funds international initiatives.
