The well-known landmark, located next to the Park Theater, received the Environmental Award of Excellence from the City of Lafayette at the City Council Meeting, April 22. Appreciative thrift shop member volunteers were on hand to receive the accolade for reusing and repurposing clothing, books, house wares and other incidentals, in order to defray the waste stream.

Since 1978, Assistance League Thrift Shop has generated funds to support community-based, hands-on programs, 15 in total, to support those in our community who are vulnerable. To learn more, please visit: assistanceleague.org/diablo-valley.
