WIY – we have thrift shops in my neighborhood that are stocked with all the clothes the local gmach couldn’t make room for. There are lots of decent things there but I, too, would feel sad if that was the only option for someone or if that was where they had to go for Shabbos clothes.
Zdad – do you ever shop at thrift stores or is that something you just want “them” to do? Which, btw, nobody called “offensive”.
