Our purpose

Our two thrift stores exist to give individuals & families products at an affordable price. Our stores also serve to help those carry through emergencies. Funds made through our stores provide needed funds for our community programs such as first aid training, self-esteem classes, hampers, and the like. Children and youth programs are also supported by the patrons that visit our stores.
