Happy Holidays! During this giving season, we'd like to share one of the ways that we give back to the community and those we serve! Attached to Opportunity House, we have a thrift store. Those we serve have the chance to work in the store to build on their work readiness skills and grow in their communication skills! 💪

Every single cent we earn in the thrift store goes to paying those who work in the thrift store! 🥰 That's right, not only is the thrift store a great opportunity to build skills, but all of the profits go to their hard work and efforts to keep it clean, organized, and a safe place to buy your favorite used items! ♥️

This year, we have a surplus of Christmas items, thanks to generous donations from the public! We would like to extend a warm invitation to visit our thrift store for your Christmas needs! From vintage to modern, we have what you need for Christmas this year and for a great price! 🌲🎁

Our thrift store is open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, from 1-4 pm. Whether you want to donate or buy something, we encourage everyone to stop by this year and check us out and support our hard-working people.

For donations: we do accept donations during these times. However, if you're not able to donate during these hours, you are always welcome to call ahead and one of our staff can assist you. 💞

Wishing everyone a very WARM and HAPPY Holiday season! Thank you! 🌲🥰🎁
