The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is excited to welcome 2nds Anyone?
Thrift Store to their new location! 2nds
Anyone? Thrift Store was created as a teaching site for the Lake Pend Oreille
Alternative High School students and started because of a grant almost five
years ago. It is still, today, a teaching site for these students.
‘We
have students come to the store for class periods during store hours to obtain
work skills,’ explained Barbara Phillips. ‘We are a non-profit 501(c)3 and
operate at no cost to the school district or tax payers.’
The
students are involved in every aspect of the store from cleaning, sorting and
money handling. All of the items in the
store are donated from the wonderful citizens of Sandpoint and they accept
almost anything they can get in the door. They tell their shoppers that they
are a different store every day because they are continually putting out new-to-you
items.
‘Our
prices are very low and our claim to fame is our Super Sack Sale,’ said
Barbara. ‘We try to have one every week, it all depends on the volunteer help
that we have available.’
The
store is always in search of volunteers. They are located at 503 Cedar Street
suite E in the Cedar Street Station. They send out email notices to anyone on their
mailing list and they also make announcements of special items or sales on their
Facebook page, Seconds Anyone, always seeking new Facebook ‘Fans’.
Please help the Greater Sandpoint Chamber
of Commerce welcome 2nds Anyone? Thrift Store to their new location. Visit their store in
the Cedar St Station during regular business hours of 10am-5pm Monday through
Friday and 10am-3pm on Saturdays. Reach them by phone at (208)263-3247.
