Donations

 
Donating glassware and home electronics, even if they are not working, can make a significant difference in the lives of veterans in need. Many veterans face financial hardships and struggle to afford basic household items, making donated dishes, cups, and cookware incredibly valuable for those trying to rebuild their lives. Even non-working home electronics, such as TVs, microwaves, and small appliances, can often be repaired or used for parts, helping veteran-focused organizations provide necessary resources at little to no cost. These donations not only reduce waste but also ensure that veterans have access to the essentials they need for a comfortable and stable living environment. Every contribution, big or small, plays a role in showing gratitude and support for those who have served.

What People are Saying About Us
 

Thank you very much for your services for veterans. You were delightful and very considerate and thankful for my service to the country. I will only do business with this thrift shop, and for those considering coming…. VETERANS WELCOME!! P.S. Whatever you may be looking for if he doesn’t have it at the moment give him just a few days and guaranteed they will find it for you!

Veterans are one of our country's greatest assets, so to find a thrift store that supports veterans, is very important to our community.

Joe, owner and manager, is open seven days a week. He provides free pickup and his prices are incredible. It hurts me when someone wants to buy an item and asks him to lower the price, even more .. this is for a charity and you're already getting the lowest price of other thrift stores!

He specializes in furniture, kitchen items, gift ideas, glassware, and yes, some clothing but most people go for the home items. Today, August 29th, we are donating a full size bed, solid wood 5-tier dresser, desk, and more ~ we believe in the cause, we believe and how Joe handles his shop, and we are more than happy to donate items and volunteer our time.

Many wonderful items that you can wrap for a holiday, birthday, wedding, gift. What I got last week is going beautifully in my new home .. so don't always run to a store when you need an item, think about shopping locally, at our thrift stores, and start with Joe's place on 441.

Thank you for reading my review.

If you are looking for a great deal then this is the place to shop. They have quite a vast array of furniture at affordable prices. Don’t waste your time shopping elsewhere, this is the best bargain store that I’ve been to.

What a great Treasure Hunt for a GREAT CAUSE, "Our Veterans"!
Please read below and spread the word as much as you can!!!
First, I enjoyed so much being able to enjoyably rummage and find not only what I needed, but also a creative mind’s dream place!
7 DAYS A WEEK!!!
Then the miracle happened, I am absolutely taken back in overwhelming, heartfelt joy, inspiration, and awe after taking the time to ask questions about the charity this store is in business for and speaking with the owner Joe.

Joe has such an amazing, passionate, personal mission statement for this cause. The amount of absolute selflessness, dedication, drive, PASSION, physical labor work, cooking and feeding and sacrifice of himself for others, "Our Veterans". I will not tell everyone all the details of sacrifice he gives daily, but it is abundantly admirable!

Joe felt a mission, to make it possible, through this store’s proceeds, with the absolute minimum overhead of any charity I have ever witnessed in my life, and I've seen ALOT, to directly help "Our Local Veterans". It cannot be described in words that give the amount of credit and gratitude due here. Joe completely lit up golden while speaking and he radiated such a a positive energy recharge for me. A person who is giving EVERYTHING of himself to be in a mission of service, for "Our Veterans".
Please help support our Local Veterans with Joe and this wonderful gem of a store that is also recycling and repurposing used items!

I feel driven to post all over social media, hand out flyers, volunteer, anything I can to help spread the word to keep this place open to continue for this cause. Someone needs to call newspapers and or a news station to hear the passion and backstory of this place.

Joe, you are one of those rare people who have put it all on the line for the goal you set, IN TOTAL SERVICE OF OTHERS!
I commend you and pray that the people continue to spread the word of your store and charity so you can help as many as you can, and the communities join in to make the difference with you! Thank you for your loving service. It is truly a gift to me to have met and spoken to you!

I will be back very soon and I'm sending others!!!
Many blessings!
Debra
