The Wise Penny Thrift Shoppe in Buffalo is a nonprofit charitable organization that sells donated goods to raise funds for West Lutheran High School. In 2019, the Wise Penny donated over $190,000 to West Lutheran (more than $1,000 per student!). Each family is asked to complete 8 hours of volunteer hours at the store for each student who attends West Lutheran. For the 2020-21 school year, 698 shifts for a total of 2,792 hours need to be filled. To date, 120 shifts (480 hours) have been completed.
