January Promotion for Catholic Charities

Now that the holidays are over January is quiet. We are all going back to our regular lives and schedules. Unfortunately, after the holidays there are still people that need help and go hungry.

This month Le Thrift Consignment Boutique has decided to partner with the Catholic Charities Emergency Assistance Program to raise money and collect dry goods to go towards their food pantry. What a great excuse to have a sale... right?

If you donate $1 or one non perishable food item to Catholic Charities you receive 20% off any item in store, donate $3 or 3 non perishable food items to Catholic Charities and you receive 30% off any item in store. 

Live out of state? Use code PAT001 and receive 15% off any item online at our store LeThrift.com. Any online sale we receive we will donate $1 to Catholic Charities.

In 2012 we will be looking to partner with other local charities. Looking for a way to raise money? We can sell gently used designer items at our store and half of the proceeds go to that charity. If interested please contact us at Christines@lethrift.com.

Our store is crammed with amazing new inventory just waiting to be snatched up by a lucky shopper.
