We Provide Hope & Second Chances.

Many of us have a friend or family member who has needed a hand or a second chance in life. We welcome everyone with compassion and without judgment. You may know us for our thrift store, but our mission is much broader!

In these uncertain times, will continue to uphold our mission to help those in need regardless of race, religion or orientation.

The most needed and funded requests are rent & utility assistance, short-term motel vouchers, gas cards, grocery gift cards and household goods and clothing.

 

Many people know us for our thrift store, but our mission is much broader.

In 2023, we provided more than $680,000 in direct financial assistance to more than 20,641 people in our community.

  • We help people struggling to pay for basic needs like rent and utilities, by providing direct financial assistance.

  • We help families stay in their homes, preventing homelessness.

  • We provide clothing and household goods for people making a fresh start.

  • We hire people to work in our thrift stores, many of whom are re-entering the workforce following personal crises.
