Boomerangs, Boston-area thrift stores that raise money for AIDS, to close in June

Die Boomerangs, eine Kette von Thrift-Shops in der Bostoner Gegend, die Geld für die AIDS-Forschung sammeln, werden im Juni schließen. Das gab die Community-Aktivistengruppe AIDS Action bekannt, die die Läden betreibt.

Die Entscheidung, die Geschäfte zu schließen, wurde aufgrund finanzieller Schwierigkeiten getroffen. Die Läden haben seit ihrer Eröffnung im Jahr 1996 über 2 Millionen Dollar für die AIDS-Forschung gesammelt.

Die Boomerangs sind bei den Bewohnern der Bostoner Gegend beliebt und haben eine große Auswahl an Secondhand-Kleidung, Möbeln und Haushaltsgegenständen angeboten.

Die Schließung der Boomerangs hat bei vielen Kunden und Unterstützern Trauer ausgelöst. Sie betonen die wichtige Rolle, die die Läden in der Aufklärung über AIDS gespielt haben.

Die AIDS Action plant, die letzten Wochen vor der Schließung der Boomerangs zu nutzen, um noch einmal Spenden zu sammeln und Abschied von treuen Kunden zu nehmen.
