CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — It's that time of year again, when the hard-working efforts of the Castaway Thrift Shop pay off. They'll be hosting their donation ceremony at the Texas Maritime Museum from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. this Sunday, Feb. 13.
Since 1979 the shop has been supporting numerous nonprofits of Aransas County. This year the group was able to raise $405,875 to give back to their community.
They'll be awarding grants to the Rockport-Fulton Good Samaritans, the Rockport Volunteer Fire Department, and so many more.
You can visit Castaways Thrift Shop in Rockport at 211 W. Market.
