Spring Cleaning? Think of Families-in-NeedCheckin’ in with the Open Door & Second Glance Thrift Shop

Submitted by Terry Weber Mangos

Did you stockpile canned goods last winter and now you’re concerned they may expire before you can eat them? Consider donating your surplus (but not-yet-expired) foods to the Open Door’s Food Pantry in Gloucester. And, what about the clutter piles that started multiplying in your house over the winter? Pack up your unwanted holiday gifts, toys, or clothes that you don’t wear or fit into anymore and donate them to the Second Glance thrift shop, which is also operated by the Open Door. 

Now’s the time to do your spring cleaning, and your donated items and efforts can benefit a family-in-need, many of whom relied on community services for the first time last year when the pandemic began. The shop accepts many items in good condition including clothes, kitchenwares, small appliances, furniture, art, and unique home decor pieces.  

While vaccination rates are rising and some Covid related restrictions are being lifted, no one knows how long it will be before the job market (and life!) returns to what we remember as normal. “All proceeds benefit the community by supporting the hunger relief programs of the Open Door,” said Susan Zwart, Director of Thrift Store Operations. “We are so grateful to the community for their donations. Keep the treasures coming!”

I think people should re-evaluate their airline rankings in regard to American and Spirit

I’m not sure where American gets off considering itself a premium airline. Planes are ancient. They charge for baggage. We got no food service. Delays.

At least Spirit you generally get cheaper flights.

I think American sucks.

All the people that fly Spirit and have a delay forget that Jet Blue and American have delays as well only you pay way more.

Jet Blue at least they have TVs and WiFi free.

There’s no reason to pay more to fly American if your only options are Spirit and American.

I’d pay more to fly Jet Blue but not American.

And before anyone starts in saying that Spirit nickle and dimes you-

Spirit starts off with a super low fare and you pay ala cart for what you want 99 percent of the times you can still fly cheaper on Spirit plus the upgrades than flying American.

F American.
