About Thrift-ish
The mission of Thrift-ish is to collect unused and wanted clothing from members of our community and redistribute those clothes to women in need.
Our vision is to encourage and inspire sustainable fashion by shopping second-hand, which will reduce textile waste going into our landfills. This impact revolves around the 3 concepts of REDUCE, REUSE, & RECYCLE.
