Upscale Resale is South County Outreach's thrift store in Laguna Hills. All proceeds support SCO's…Read More programs to fight hunger and homelessness. Donations for Upscale can be dropped off at Ritz Cleaners in Dove Plaza where they are picked up regularly. Ritz is a great business with terrific employees who believe in helping others!
