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, shelter assistance, 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 2024, we have provided more than $750,000 in direct financial assistance to more than 30,000 people in our community.

  • COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER /MISSION OUTREACH; Our programs and case managers work symbiotically to provide a continuum of care for our housed and unhoused neighbors in need facing crisis and instability.

  • CENTRO RENDU Program; We support and empower Hispanics and immigrants through education, social services, legal advocacy and leadership development.

  • THRIFT STORE: We provide affordable clothing, household goods and unique treasures.

  • SECOND-CHANCE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM; We provide on-the-job training and hire many people who are looking to re-enter the workforce and make a fresh start following personal crises.
