ECHO Charity Thrift, Yard Sale Today (Nov. 17)
Shop for a cause at the ECHO Charity Thrift Sale at the Emergency Care Help Organization in Brandon. Help refresh food supplies and raise money for the center by shopping through overstocked clothes and small household items.
Calling it the monthly "Charity Thrift Sale," the volunteers at the Emergency Care Help Organization (ECHO) are on duty today, Nov. 17, to sell discounted clothes and small household items.
These items are received weekly from the residents of Greater Brandon, who support the food bank and clothes closet with donations of gently used items to help neighbors struggling through tough times.
