At the secondhand store

There's a great secondhand store called Emmaus not far from us in France. The neat thing about this store is that it was a concept started in the 40s by a man who had a vision for getting down and out people off the street and giving them a job. Some chapters also provide housing. In essence it's a community and a support system along with a secondhand store. Each section of the store has a person in charge and they carefully register every purchase. It's really a wonderful concept and makes one feel even better about getting great stuff at great prices!
