Specialties

POP! Super-​Sized Thrift Store offers more than 6,000 high quality items from clothing to gifts, house wares, furniture, books and sports items. We rotate items through continually and eventually every item is half price. Our merchandizing model is based on turnover so the prices begin very low — and then go half price. The best thing is that all proceeds support our Food Bank & Family Resource Center which helps over 11,000 people annually with food, clothing, blankets, etc. Our community resource services help our own clients move forward faster and help other agencies serve their own clients as well — in this way, we help thousands of people we will never meet in ways we will never know. We are all stronger together!

History

Established in 1973.

People of Progress began as a community farm then added on a food and childcare co-​op. The thrift store came a few years later and has been our main funding source for decades. We have very loyal customers who are addicted to our wide, ever-​changing selection of quality merchandise and our prices!
