On a snowy December day in 2013, the Cancer Connection Thrift Shop first opened its doors and “it’s been sunshine, warmth, and thrifty goodness ever since,” says Nancy Charbonneau Case, store manager. The thrift shop supports the Cancer Connection, which offers free programs and support for people in the Pioneer Valley living with cancer. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to the nonprofit organization. “We have pure gratitude for our thrifty community: our beloved and hardworking volunteers, a generous and kind community of donors who keep us stocked with great stuff, our devoted and fun shoppers, and our outrageously talented staff,” she says. You can find a plethora of clothing from jackets, coats, sweaters, and even formal wear at the thrift shop.
