The Thrift Shop of Boston and The Home for Little Wanderers hosted a special event on June 7, at the Substation in Roslindale, honoring the unique secondhand shop’s 100th year in business. For the past century, The Thrift Shop of Boston has been one of the most charitable secondhand shops in New England. The shop has helped The Home build stable lives and hopeful futures for children across the Northeast, by investing 100% of its proceeds back into the community through The Home. Over the years, thanks to volunteers, donors and its dedicated staff, The Thrift Shop has provided over $2 million in support for The Home’s 35+ programs.

The event was free and open to the public. It featured a fashion show, remarks by community leaders and a performance by Roslindale super group, “ROZBUDS”. For more information on how The Thrift Shop of Boston helps The Home, visit thriftshopofboston.org.
