A key part of belonging is being part of a community, and there are plenty of ways to connect with and support the wider community in Ann Arbor, including by visiting one of the many thrift and second-hand stores. If you need something, they can be a great way to pick up a bargain and contribute to important work from local non-profit organizations. If you are looking to get rid of stuff that you no longer need, then please consider donating your items. This supports local organizations and is also vital in terms of our sustainability goals for reducing waste. For more information about donation and shopping spots please visit a2gov.org/reuse or by search online. It’s a great way to give back and make a difference locally!
