Thrift stores also known as charity shops or opportunity stores—play an important role in supporting communities. Run mostly by non-profit organizations, these stores raise funds for social causes while reducing global waste through reuse and recycling.
As sustainability and conscious shopping gain popularity, technology-driven platforms like eThrift are helping local thrift stores reach a much wider audience.
