Thrift Store

Did you know that our Thrift Store powers a significant portion of our operating income? Your generosity benefits both shoppers and the privilege of serving our clients. We gladly accept donations of new to gently used clothing and goods. Our friendly volunteers are ready and waiting to receive your items with open arms and big smiles during regular shopping hours.

What treasures will you find? A better question is, what won’t you find? Our eclectic selection covers everything from baby to adult clothing, household goods and decor, books, movies, toys, electronics, games, furniture, and so much more. And the best part? You’ll keep coming back like our loyal customers because our store is clean, organized, and offers budget-friendly prices.

Our dedicated team of volunteers have formed deep friendships while working together to sort, clean, price, and display our items beautifully. They are supported by a caring and dedicated staff, all driven by a passion for giving back in a meaningful way.
