Plan would require foster children to shop for clothing in thrift stores

^^^^ The St Vincent DePaul Thrift Store nearest to my town is more expensive than the nearest SA or Goodwill. Both carry the same quality of stuff (not great). The nearest SA/Goodwill pale in comparison to the Brand Spanking New Goodwill in Montgomery, a fairly well off suburb of Cinci. That place has NICE stuff. Geography and area income play an important part in what is available at each store.

I shop Craigslist, and local garage sales.
