The Community Assistance Center invites deal seekers, thrift lovers, and sustainable fashion shoppers to Sandy Springs for the Canopy Thrift Semi-Annual Sale and Spring Reveal, Feb. 24 through March 3.

All purchases help fund the Community Assistance Center’s services, including emergency assistance to families, Mini-Market food pantries, children’s programs, adult education and career services, and workforce development programs.

Thrift Store Manager Brittany Lyman said most shoppers love the thrill of the find, but the impact behind every purchase is what makes the event special, which is held at the store at 8607 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs’ North End.

“Customers refresh their closets while helping local families build stability,” Lyman said. “It’s fashion with purpose.”

Deals with a cause

Deals during the nonprofit’s semi-annual sale include 50 percent off Feb. 24-25 and $1 items Feb. 26-28. The eight-day sale wraps Tuesday, March 3, with access to fresh spring and summer merchandise at the store’s Spring Reveal.
