At these thrift shops, you can

find a bargain and help the

less fortunate in the process.

n the realm of shopping, few
escapades are as satisfying as finding -
a treasure for a trifle. When that
expenditure helps a good cause, it's a
genuine win-win situation.
That's the experience available to shoppers
at one of the NatiOnal Council of Jewish
Women's Thrift Shops. With stores in Berkley
and Royal Oak, NCJW is celebrating its 65th
year of offering gently used, resalable merchan-
dise to the public. The offerings extend from
all categories of clothing for men, women and
children, to household goods, toys and even
jewelry. Items are contemporary to vintage.
"The proceeds from our thrift shops provide
all of the funding for our social-service pro-
grams," says Joyce Siegel of Huntington
Woods, vice president of NCJW fundraising.
"We now have at least 20 projects that are ben-
eficiaries of income generated by both of our
stores."
