PTA Thrift Shop grows, plans nonprofit center � Philanthropy North Carolina

PTA Thrift Shop grows, plans nonprofit center � Philanthropy North Carolina: ARRBORO, N.C. — Since it was created in 1952 to help generate funds for arts education in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, the PTA Thrift Shop has raised and donated an estimated $7 million to $8 million to local schools.

In December, it opened a new 14,000-square-foot flagship store in a 22,000-square-foot facility it built at 125 West Main St. in Carrboro to replace a smaller building built in the 1940s as a grocery store.
