Shift Thrift wants you to think differently when shopping. They support community outreach in teaching how to Reuse & Repurpose thrift/found items.
MISSION STATEMENT.
Shift Thrift Store is a social enterprise existing to enhance the Colorado Springs Community by creating jobs, preserving the environment, promoting community involvement, and raising funds for charitable causes through recycling of household goods.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES.
Creating jobs. Shift creates jobs in the community. Shift strives to hire local citizens with various challenges to employment seeking job skills for career enhancement.
Preserving the environment. The recycling of household goods keeps unwanted items out of landfills. Allowing a place for community members to purchase these items further reduces environmental damage by scaling the need to purchase new items which are often manufactured in planet-harming ways.
Promoting community involvement. Shift is a community hub involved with many charitable organizations in the Pikes Peak Region. Local citizens donate their goods on a daily basis which creates revenue for participating members. This assists these non-profits in their daily activities of enhancing the community. Shift also is an advocate for participating members by promoting their causes through store events, advertising, and more.
Raising funds for charitable causes. Shift is a conduit of revenue for participating non-profit organizations through the donation and sale of household goods. Member organizations receive a percentage of total sale prices for items donated on their behalf.
