Our Thrift Stores are filled with items donated by the supporters of our non-​profit members. Donations can be dropped off, or we offer a pick-​up service for larger items like furniture and appliances. Upon receipt, the donations are barcoded to the designated non-​profit which then sends a thank you letter to the donor to be used for tax deduction purposes. The Donor assigns their own value to the donated items. When the donated items are sold, 12% of the sale price goes to the non-​profit. We’ve issued checks to members in excess of $ 800 per month, which has helped fund their programs.

Helping Hands Community Thrift Store & Furniture Bank is privately funded. We act as «brokers» for our non-​profit members. We hire from the community and have created job training positions for individuals with disabilities. We are truly trying to make a positive difference in the community.
