Thrift Shop
DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas — Sharon Mikus provides costomer service to Summer Fox at the Dyess Thrift Shop Sept. 23. The Thrift Shop is run entirely by volunteers from the Officer’s Spouses Club. Last year alone, the Thrift Shop made $11,900, which the OSC used to provide 19 scholarships and other financial aid for base and community organizations including the Abilene Weatherization program and other non-profit agencies. Store hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and the first Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Donations and consignments are accepted any time. Retirees, dependents, contractors and anyone who has access to the base is welcome to shop. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Domonique Simmons)
