For the past 4 1/2 years, I’ve been running my private thrift store with a mission to help the community. Even though we are a private business, we regularly work with local nonprofits like Against Abuse and do our best to help homeless individuals get the essentials they need. Our store has become a resource for people looking for affordable goods and a place where everyone is welcome.

Right now, our building needs urgent repairs. The roof, electrical system, and air conditioning all need work to keep the store safe and comfortable for our shoppers. Without these repairs, it’s hard to provide the welcoming environment our community relies on. Fixing these issues will help us stay open and continue supporting those who count on us.

We’ve always tried to give back, but at this time, we could use some help ourselves. Any support you can offer—big or small—would mean so much and help us keep our doors open for everyone who needs us.
