South County Outreach hosted a Grand Opening weekend for its second thrift store, Upscale Resale Laguna Niguel. The Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on February 8 was attended by over 40 city officials, chamber members, and community partners, including the entire Laguna Niguel City Council. LaVal Brewer, CEO of South County Outreach, spoke at the ribbon-cutting, taking the opportunity to share their inspiring vision and explaining how shopping at Upscale Resale directly supports South County Outreach’s mission to end hunger and homelessness in the community.  

The weekend continued with community-based activities, showcasing Upscale Resale’s integration and partnership with the local community. After the festive tone of the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony, Upscale Resale continued the Grand Opening activities on Friday by hosting a Succulent Making Workshop, led by local entrepreneur Andrea Galbreath and her company JustSuccIt. On Saturday, February 10, Upscale Resale hosted a Super Bowl-Themed Storytime, with Laguna Niguel Mayor Kelly Jennings reading to the children in attendance. Games, snacks and giveaways for the kids made for a family-fun event. 

Emphasizing its mission, Upscale Resale hosted a Weekend-Long Food Drive.
