Aug. 17: On National Thrift Shop Day: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, THRIFT
Hendersonville, N.C. — Did you know that the average person generates up to 80 pounds of clothing waste a year, with the majority of this ending up in our landfills? Donating your used clothing, textiles, and other household goods is beneficial for the community and the environment. If your clothing or textiles are torn, stained, or too worn for reuse, they can be recycled. Worn clothing and textiles are processed back into fibers for reuse in products such as carpet padding, insulation, and wiping cloths.
August 17 is National Thrift Shop Day and MountainTrue, The City of Hendersonville Environmental Sustainability Board, and The Hospice Home Store of Hendersonville invite the community to help reduce the amount of waste in our landfills. Residents are asked to bring clothing and textiles in bags labeled as recyclable fabric, unopened toiletries that will be sent to the VA Medical Center in Asheville, and other household goods to the Henderson Hospice Home Store located at 215 N. Main Street, Hendersonville, NC on August 17, 18 or 19. Volunteers will be available between 11AM-2PM on those days to assist you and discuss recycling programs in our community and how donating used goods is beneficial to the environment and economy.

A soulfully southern gypsy funk band
Opener: Hustle Souls
Singer/Songwriter: Rock Kellogg
“August swings us back into the world of Rock and Roll with a visit from Come Back Alice. Formed in 2012, Come Back Alice has a patently-unique sound that they’ve dubbed Southern Gypsy Funk. A lively blend of rock, soul, gypsy jazz and funk, let’s just say it makes for a good time! With improvisational influences from bands known for killer live performances—including The Band, Dave Matthews, Tom Petty, and The Allman Brothers Band—even the biggest Come Back Alice fans don’t know what to expect. Fronted by multi-instrumentalists (and newly-weds) Tony Tyler and Dani Jaye, the connection onstage is electric. Switching between slide guitar, B3 organ, Violin, and keys, these two have a knack for captivating audiences with a true Rock N Roll stage presence.”
