Letter: Cheers to Thrift Shop’s success!

To the editor:

What a terrific article about a terrific success story at “the old Bennys.”
We have been donating to the East Bay Thrift Shop for a good while and doing so this year at their new location is such a pleasure. It’s so easy now and Jodi and her team are all great, especially the guys who help with unloading donations.

The best part is knowing that each of our donations is supporting the mission of the East Bay Food Pantry. And after donating it's fun to walk around the beautiful new store and see all the activity. I happened to see a happy customer purchase one of our donations, it felt good.

Congratulations to the whole team and all the supporters at East Bay Food Pantry and Thrift Shop.
