Care & Share Thrift Shoppes announced their 2019 donation to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) on Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at a special Super Star Breakfast. Thanks to generous donors, energetic shoppers and enthusiastic volunteers, Care & Share announced they are the first independent, non-profit, thrift store to donate over One Million Dollars to charity in a calendar year. Volunteers contribute to the heartbeat of Care & Share! At this breakfast, we celebrated an elite group we refer to as the “Super Stars”. These 93 special volunteers each donated between 300 - 1,700 hours in 2019, contributing to over 109,000 volunteer hours in 2019. Care & Share is thankful for the support of all of our volunteers. Since 1975, Care & Share has donated over $19 million to MCC (mcc.org) |

The Clothing and Variety Shoppes are OPEN for business. Kindly note the procedures below. We sincerely have missed you and appreciate your patience. We anticipate opening additional Shoppes as our Volunteers are slowly returning to serve as they feel comfortable.
Due to COVID-19, we might have missed your Birthday, and the opportunity to give you your Birthday Discount!
Due to State regulations surrounding COVID-19, Shoppes we closed on March 13, 2020. We initially advertised that on the first day we reopen, those celebrating a birthday while we are closed could redeem their discount on the first day we are open. Due to the length of time we were forced to be closed, we now realize we can not accommodate that many shoppers on the first day we reopen.
Redemption of the Birthday Discount will happen as follows: If a customer celebrated a birthday during the time we were closed, the Birthday Discount can still be redeemed on the same day of the month as the customer's birthday in the month of July.
Example: Timmy’s birthday was on April 14. Care & Share was closed. Timmy can redeem his birthday discount on July 14. Timmy must show valid ID at the time of purchase to receive his discount.
As per company policy, Sunday birthdays will be honored only on the following Monday. If closed, we will honor the birthday on the very next business day. Example, July 4, 2020 birthday discounts will be redeemed on July 6 this year.

Care & Share Thrift Shoppes hosted the second annual Student Volunteer Scholarship Award Ceremony, “social distancing style” on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, outside of the Welcome Center. Three high school seniors were awarded $500 towards continuing education school/program after high school. This year’s winners are, (listed in alphabetical order): • Galina Baron, LifeWorks Academy, volunteered over 100 hours at DogTown Rescue. • Pranathi Birapuneni, Central Bucks South High School, volunteered 96 hours at Doylestown Hospital. • Katie Quinn, Central Bucks East High School, volunteered over 100 hours at Doylestown Hospital. With over 1,000 volunteers and 109,238 hours served in 2019, volunteerism is the source of success of Care & Share. It is important to us to encourage young people to volunteer in their communities. We are excited to have many students apply for this scholarship who are actively giving back to our community. Congratulations and Good Luck next year! |
