Since our opening in '93, over 100 social service organizations have utilized our vouchers to help their clients make a fresh start. Over the past 2 years, the vouchers provided our neighbors $10,000 worth of free clothing and household goods. Help us continue our important work!

Thrifty also takes pride in our dedicated volunteers, the AARP’s Senior Workforce participants and Community Service Workers who help make Thrifty not just a store, but a place for connection and growth in our community. Here is a testimony from Shawna Hammond and Janet Myles:
