ThriftRunner Evolving Network Diary
TREND is the living, evolving network being built to connect participating members, Registered Thrift Runners, participating thrift storefronts, Active Wish Lists, relationships, store tours, and the continuing story of the ThriftRunner community.
In development: TREND’s participation features are planned and are not yet open for enrollment.
Why “Evolving”?
A network that grows with its community
“Evolving” was chosen because TREND is meant to reflect a community that never stands still.
- New people join.Members and Registered Thrift Runners bring new interests, knowledge, and places to search.
- New stores participate.Storefronts add their stories, discoveries, events, galleries, and tours.
- New relationships develop.People and stores connect through shared thrift interests and potential finds.
- Active Wish Lists circulate.Eligible requests are intended to keep moving through the network while they remain active.
- The diary keeps growing.Discoveries, tours, relationships, and participation become part of the community’s continuing story.
