When Erin visited her local Thrift Store in Montreal, she saw beyond my worn appearance and chipped edges to the character I embodied. By choosing me, Erin gave me another opportunity to be a valued part of someone’s home. In turn, I sparked her creativity and motivated her to start the DIY project she had been putting off. Donations like me help bring joy to thrifty shoppers who can breathe new life into items that just need a little love, while supporting local Salvation Army programs and contributing to environmental sustainability through upcycling.
With my fresh coat of paint and new set of handles, I feel like a brand new dresser. There’s power in giving items like me a second chance to be refreshed, recycled, and restyled. I’ve seen incredible things during my first hundred years, and I can’t wait to see what the next century holds!
