What\u2019s a Bin Sale?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Fort Wayne community, the Family Thrift Store has received thousands of pounds of donated clothing\u2026 more than we can store! To make room and share these items affordably, we\u2019re offering clothing by the pound\u2026 just $1.50 per pound! \u201cShoppers can fill their carts, drive their cart right onto our industrial scale for quick check out, and be on their way. It’s that simple,\u201d explains Tony Ley, Executive Director of the Franciscan Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a fun, first-time event for us,\u201d adds Tony. \u201cWe want families to find great deals and maybe even check off their holiday shopping lists while supporting a good cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why It Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every purchase helps fund the Franciscan Center\u2019s vital programs, including its food pantry, healthcare cabinet, and sack lunch ministries serving the southeast side of town. Your shopping makes a direct impact on neighbors in need.<\/p>\n
