This Thrift Store Gave Away ~$500K to The Community - a podcast by Grant Gould

Clothes Less Traveled began as a small storefront on Huddleston Road. MaryAnn Cox and Joan Velsmid needed a place to sell the merchandise arriving at Holy Trinity Catholic Church.

The solution? Open up the first nonprofit thrift shop in Peachtree City, named “The Clothes Less Traveled” by Janet McGregor Dunn!

Clothes Less Traveled expanded three times at the Huddleston location, but continued to outgrow the space.

In 2006 we moved to our current location on Hwy 74. After a few years we expanded to a 25,000 square foot store selling quality donated goods at reasonable prices.

Since opening, our goal has been the same: to empower change in our community by giving away our profits in the form of grants to local charities, as well as scholarships. Thanks to our generous donors, faithful volunteers, and loyal shoppers, we have been able to give away more than $7.5 million to over 100 local nonprofits!
