The Salvation Army Grand Rapids Michigan Adult Rehabilitation Center is hosting its March Mega Sale on Saturday, March 22, at all eight West Michigan locations. For one day only, shoppers can receive 50% off all men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing.
This is good news in an economy where thrifting has become a major trend, especially among Gen Z, who are drawn to the hunt for one-of-a-kind items—whether it’s a retro jacket, funky patterns, or anything that feels special and not mass-produced. The sense of sustainability also makes thrifting much more rewarding than buying from big brands.
Sustainability plays a key role in thrifting’s rise, as younger shoppers are conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases. Thrifting reduces waste from fast fashion, promotes fewer new garments, and keeps clothes out of landfills. It also offers an anti-corporate edge, appealing to those who want to avoid overpriced trends and those juggling student debt or gig work.
“Updating your wardrobe for the new season doesn’t have to break the bank,” said Envoy Jacqulynn Idzior, administrator for business at The Salvation Army Grand Rapids Adult Rehabilitation Center (1491 Division Ave, Grand Rapids). “Our March Mega Sale is the perfect opportunity for the community to score great deals on spring essentials, all while supporting those rebuilding their lives at the Adult Rehabilitation Center in Grand Rapids.”
In addition to clothing, shoppers can find gently used home goods, accessories, furniture, and more at discounted prices. Most Salvation Army thrift stores are open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
The Salvation Army thrift stores are crucial to funding the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center. Founded in 1883, the ARC offers a faith-based rehabilitation program for adults battling substance abuse. The program is completely self-funded, drawing from revenue generated by Salvation Army thrift stores. For more information on ARC or on specific store location hours, visit grandrapids.satruck.org.
