ENID, OK - On Saturday, October 1st, Park Avenue Thrift celebrated 15 years in business. They offered a variety of specials and asked their customers and donors to vote for their favorite nonprofit whenever they shopped or donated that day. The nine most voted nonprofits would receive $500 for their organization.
The results of the top nine nonprofits voted by Park Avenue Thrift customers and donors to receive $500 each are (in alphabetical order); 4RKids Foundation, Bennie’s Barn Horse Therapy Ranch, CDSA Diaper Bank, Enid Street Outreach Services (SOS), Enid SPCA, Furever Friends, Gaslight Theatre, Leonardo’s Children’s Museum, and Loaves and Fishes.
“Park Avenue Thrift’s mission is to give back to local nonprofits working towards Enid’s quality of life, so it made sense to have our customers and donors involved in what nonprofits they love and support,” said Stela Jantzen, Park Avenue Thrift executive director. “The celebration was so fun! We will definitely continue to have an anniversary sale and customer/donor vote each year around October 1st.”
Park Avenue Thrift is an Oklahoma 501(c)(3) that exists to strengthen the Enid community and serve others by collecting donations, running a top-notch thrift store, and giving the proceeds to Enid nonprofits that invest in quality-of-life initiatives.
