A big box truck pulled up to a Drexel Hill thrift store this week, and what came out of it recently appeared on TV, reports Nick Vadala for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Thrift & Thrive, a nonprofit shop formerly known as Nana’s Attic, just received a major donation of screen-used furniture and clothing from HBO’s Delco-set drama Task, giving fans a rare chance to take home a piece of local television history.
Store manager Janice Tinari watched as the items kept coming.
“They just kept bringing stuff out,” she said. “I was like, ‘This truck is as big as my store.’”
The haul includes tables, chairs, dressers, and desks that appeared on screen, along with clothing worn by characters in the series, some featuring logos from beloved local icons like the Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia Flyers, and Hersheypark.
While the Tinari can’t pinpoint exactly which characters used each item as she hasn’t seen the show, she promised to give the series a watch. Pieces will be hitting the sales floor throughout the coming days.
The donation is part of an ongoing relationship between Thrift & Thrive and a local production company, which has previously sent over wardrobe and furniture from other regional productions, including Mare of Easttown and Hustle.
And the cause behind it all makes the find even more meaningful. Proceeds from these sales support the Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County, which provides services to survivors throughout the county.
