In addition to being bright, fun and funky, The Brown Elephant resale shops don’t hoard profits for CEOs. All proceeds from The Brown Elephant shops benefit LGBTQ health and fund care for the uninsured and underinsured at Howard Brown Health. Not only will you score a great deal on furniture or wardrobe pieces, your money goes to a good cause. The stores don’t feel claustrophobic or rundown: you stop in and you’ll want to spend time there. Plus, the staff members are amazing and the wares consistently topnotch. (Amanda Finn) 3020 N.
