In recent news, WebThriftStore just announced a partnership with American Red Cross. WebThriftStore is a leading online fundraising platform and the partnership will now allow the Red Cross to raise money through a customized, free online thrift store. Supporters will donate all sorts of items and then the items will be listed into the general marketplace and sold with the proceeds going to the Red Cross.
As Jennifer Elwood, the Vice President of Consumer Marketing at the Red Cross, said “We are not typically able to accept small quantities of individual donations for emergency relief purposes. Partnering with WebThriftStore will now enable donors to sell their items while supporting the Red Cross and allow us to use the proceeds to provide relief to those who need it most.”
As Doug Krugman, the WebThriftStore founder and CEO said, “We are thrilled to support the Red Cross in raising money to assist their life-saving mission. This relationship is a milestone for our organization that reinforces our mission of helping others do good by getting rid of excess stuff in order to assist others.”
