The end of November unofficially kicks off the giving season, a time when people get together to celebrate family and abundance. It’s also a time people pause and consider how they can give back.

Immaculate Conception School was excited for the opportunity to raise funds for their school through something as simple as a clothing drive.

It is extremely rewarding to give various community groups and nonprofits the opportunity to raise funds for their events or programs, but what is event better is that FUNDrives® are able to touch so many lives and teach the next generation about the power of reuse.

The FUNDrive® program began as an idea from two Value Village store managers to create local connections and help nonprofit organizations in communities near our stores earn money, as well as supply the stores with great products to offer for sale to retail customers.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice…and a whole lotta bags! Just ask Liberty High School Choir director, Robin Wood. Robin, along with her energized choir families, collected a mountain of bags for their FUNDrive®!
