I've used the PTA TS since I relocated here in 2005. It's my favorite store for shopping for anything from clothes, furniture, housewares. I take my family there when they are visiting so they can see what a thrift store represents. They love it and the staff are great. The work they do in the community not only from a thrift store to collaborating with other nonprofits in Orange County is outstanding. They are always available to help other agencies when asked as well as families in the community. How can we help?
Thank you PTA Thrift Shop for helping one of my families as they secured permanent housing. Your help made the transition from Durham to Chapel Hill much smoother. #realadvocacyforfamiliesinneed
I used to love the PTA Thrift Shop - until I learned that they are using the PTA name to raise money, but no longer making substantial donations to our schools.

Business response:
We are always available to educate our community and stakeholders on our Mission. Thank you for listening.
Clarify where all the money went, why the schools don't receive money anymore (the little grants you give are so small compared to the money received by the PTA) and why there is no longer a connection to our schools and PTAs... If you have nothing to hide - I am sure you will share all this information publicly.
The PTA Thrift Shop got a shiny new store in 2012 thanks to funds raised by local families. Since then, their contributions to CHCC Schools dropped from about $200,000 a year to almost nothing ($13,000 last year), despite their revenue going UP significantly. Meanwhile, they quietly eliminated PTA membership on their Board. DO NOT SHOP HERE.
