PIEDMONT, S.C. (WSPA) – A “higher-end” resale shop is opening in Piedmont.
Threads of Hope resale shop is officially opening at 10 a.m. Saturday. Officials said proceeds help a sponsor, Auction for a Kaws Rescue (AFAK). AFAK is a non-profit founded in Greenville in 2012 and now helps support rescue organizations across the state.
Threads of Hope officials said they will sell gently used higher-end clothing for men, women and children, along with shoes, designer handbags, jewelry, belts, hats, furniture, home decor and more.
According to the resale store, this is made possible through the Giving WaYa recycling company. Giving WaYa partners with non-profits, school districts and other organizations to offer fundraisers through recycled
clothing.
Giving WaYa set up red collection bins at drop-off locations, Threads of Hope said. They are listed below. Then clothes and other items are sorted.
