ROCHESTER – The Community Project Thrift Store in Rochester, Indiana, is hosting a special sale event that shoppers won’t want to miss. Since Monday, March 10th, the store has been increasing its discounts daily, starting at 10% off and rising over the past week. Now, as the event concludes, customers can take advantage of a storewide free shopping event on Sunday, March 22nd.

The store will be closed on Saturday. On Sunday, March 22nd, all non-blue-tagged items in the store will be completely free, including clothing, furniture, household goods, books, and more.

The Community Project Thrift Store has been a part of Rochester’s retail and charitable community since it opened in 2019. Originally called “Half Price or Less,” the store rebranded in 2020 to better reflect its growing support for local charities. A portion of proceeds from donations is directed to over 120 community projects, churches, and nonprofit organizations in the area.

In 2024, the store relocated to a larger facility at 2316 E. State Road 14, which has allowed for a better shopping experience, more space for donations, and a larger inventory. This move has helped the store expand its mission to provide affordable items while continuing to support the community.

The current sale is the result of two weeks of increasing discounts, which started at 10% and have risen to 90% off in the days leading up to the event. Customers have been able to purchase items at significantly reduced prices, making it a great opportunity to find affordable clothing, furniture, and household items.

The final event on Sunday, March 22nd, offers all non-blue-tagged items completely free. This is a unique opportunity for the community to gather essential items without spending any money.

Shoppers are encouraged to arrive early on Sunday, as items will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. This event reflects the store’s ongoing commitment to supporting those in need while strengthening local initiatives.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, March 22nd, and prepare to take advantage of this incredible opportunity at the Community Project Thrift Store.
