Thrifting for Fun with Seniors and Caregivers
It’s great to go out and explore the wonderful world of thrift stores, but as we get older, it may be harder to do it safely by ourselves. For seniors aging in place in their homes who may no longer have access to a car, shopping at leisure may seem like a hobby for days gone by. The good news is Visiting Angels of Hurst is here to help. They can provide professional, compassionate caregivers perfectly matched to each client. Visit the website or call (817) 952-3223 to find out more about how Visiting Angels can help your family.

Thrift for Good

Open since October 2020, Thrift for Good is a different kind of thrift store – focused on quality control and merchandising. Their goal is to sell stuff thrifters want to buy, organized in the way they want to shop, in a clean, bright retail shop. Each purchase made at Thrift for Good enables them to give more to charity – 25 percent of proceeds go to the charity of the donor’s choice. And donated goods that cannot be sold are given to the TFG Charitable Supply to be distributed, for free, to various charities that can use them.
Goodwill Super Store

Goodwill North Central Texas strives to be good stewards of all that they are given to ensure the best future for students, clients, the community, the organization, and the planet.

All inventory also is available for sale to the general public. Proceeds from the Resale Store benefit the ministries of Harvest House.
Texas Thrift Store
1105 W. Pipeline Rd, Hurst
Texas Thrift and its sister stores, City Thrift and Music City Thrift, have spent the last 30 years becoming the thrift lover’s thrift store, but their vision goes beyond that. The family of thrift stores meets the needs of thrifty families by supplying a huge array of unique, quality, gently used merchandise at prices far below retail. Each day, experienced retail professionals place thousands of clothes, accessories, furniture, household items and more out on the sales floor to create a treasure hunt shopping experience. The three stores provide local jobs to over a thousand individuals across the southern United States and help keep millions of pounds out of landfills annually by recycling gently used garments, giving them a second life.
Thrift store shopping is a great way for seniors to get out of the house, explore retail goods without spending a lot, and enjoy the company of a good companion. If your senior loved one could use help leaving their home safely, giving you peace of mind, call Visiting Angels of Hurst today at (817) 952-3223 to set up a consultation for your family.
