when i was a kid they ran a st. vincent depaul out of a small house. i never went in it, but was friends with some kids whose parents pretty much bought everything there. i never realized it was a chain though, i just thought it was one of those local charaties.

the salvation army and goodwill near my home are pretty nice, and i once had to do community service at a Mellwood (they are a charity for dignity and such for retards) Thrift store. i hated it. i had a 17 year old girl in charge of me and all she had me do was sorth through donations while she evaluated the clothes to see what she wanted for herself.
