We are so happy that, even now, at the age of 99, she continues to contribute so much to our organization.” Council Thrift Shop is located at 75 South Washington Avenue, Bergenfield. Proceeds from the sale of donated new or gently-used clothing, accessories and household items go directly to support those in need in our community and advance our advocacy programs.
