I was doing some after Christmas shopping at Smith Mountain Lake today and stopped in at the American Cancer Society's Discovery Shop in Moneta this afternoon. They're running an after Christmas sale with 75% off all holiday items. The store has a variety of Christmas ornaments and decorations, plus housewares, dishes, linens,  framed prints and furniture available. This is a nice clean store with friendly volunteers and reasonable prices on the donated merchandise.

Find a bargain and support a great cause- all proceeds go toward the fight against cancer.

From the ACS website:

American Cancer Society Discovery Shops

Through the sale of donated merchandise, ACS Discovery Shops make a substantial contribution in continuing the fight. The heart of the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop efforts its volunteers. No special skills are necessary, just a desire to share your energy and enthusiasm a few hours a month. The shops are owned by the American Cancer Society and operated by volunteers and staff.

• Clothing, Accessories
