What Is The Purpose of Aging Services’ Online Thrift Shop?

WE ARE TRYING SOMETHING NEW!

This time of year we usually begin asking the public for donations for our Annual Yard Sale.  Unfortunately, at this time we are unsure when we will be able to have our Yard Sale due to COVID-19.  So in this era of social distancing, we are pleased to announce the creation of our Online Thrift Shop.  We will be showcasing unique items on our Facebook Page and on our Webpage.  Visit http://www.richmondnc.com/487/Online-Thrift-Shop or https://www.facebook.com/agingisgood/shop/?rt=19  to view the items posted so far. 

100% of the funds raised from the Online Thrift Shop will be used for Aging Services’ Programs and Activities. Raising money helps to keep our Programs and Activities FREE or at a reduced cost to the participant.

How Does It Work? 

1.If you are interested in purchasing the item(s) please comment below the item on our Facebook Page Wall, Private Message or email Jacqueline Welch and let her know you want it at jacqueline.welch@richmondnc.com.  This is first come, first serve. 

2.If you are the first person to claim the item, you will get a confirmation that the item is yours.

3.Once you have been confirmed the purchaser, you will need to pay for the item.  We accept Cash, Money Order or Credit Cards (A Convenience Fee of 2.5% of the amount being paid plus .30 cents will be applied to your credit card payment). 

4.Once confirmation of you payment has been received, you will be contacted to arrange for pick-up.

5.Check back weekly- new item(s) will be posted weekly.

At this time we are unable to ship items.  Items must be picked up from the Rockingham Senior Center located at:  225 South Lawrence Street, Rockingham, NC  28379

What If I Want To Donate To The Online Thrift Shop?

DONATE & FEEL GREAT!

Donating is a great way to give your unwanted items a second life. By donating you help recycle unwanted items. This tax deductible contribution will not only support your community but declutter your home as well.  Recycling at its very best!  Remember 100% of the profits from your donation go directly to the Senior Center.  If you want to donate to The Online Thrift Shop please give us a call at (910) 997-4491. We can make arrangements to accept your new or gently used item(s). We do not have much storage space, so we ask that you please hold on to any large items  until we are able to have our annual yard sale.    So let’s get those garages, attics and closets cleaned out and find lots of hidden treasures for us to sell.

We appreciate your donation.  All items must be clean, gently used, free of stains, pet hair, mold and smoke odor.
