Former Volunteer Makes Huge Thrift Donation

A clothing donation to save lives

Todd Gilson spent years volunteering at AHS’ Sunnyslope facility. So when it came time to close his uniform store, he knew exactly what he wanted to do with his leftover stock.   Gilson, who recently shut down his PCA Uniforms, Inc. (DBA Gilson Uniforms) retail location after 40 years in business, donated close to $30,000 of merchandise to AHS’ new Camelback Thrift Store. Contents included racks, displays and thousands of different new garments, including medical scrubs, chefs uniforms and shoes.   “We have a particular fondness for AHS and animals,” Gilson said. “That’s our big emphasis – helping out the animals.”   Thank you Todd for your generous donation that will help save so many lives!   Are you a business wanting to make a difference in the lives of animals? Or do you have clothes, furniture or other large household items you’d like to donate? We’ll pick up your donation of new or gently-used merchandise for free (minimum two bags/boxes of clothes/items)! Call (480) 290-0587 to schedule a pickup. Pick-ups are completed on a first-come, first-serve basis.   Also, be sure to stop by any of our three thrift locations for amazing finds and unique treasures.   [one_fourth] Sunnyslope Thrift Store 9226 N. 13th Avenue Phoenix, AZ 85021 Driving Directions 602.971.4880 Open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sunday, Noon-4 p.m. [/one_fourth][one_fourth] Tempe Thrift Store 755 W.
