tHRIFT STORE



Welcome to the Community Helping Hand thrift store. Here you will find just about anything you are looking for. Our store is divided into two major areas, clothing and furniture. When you walk into the main entrance, our friendly volunteers will greet you and let you know of any daily specials. Furniture is located in the "new" building, clothes are throughout the store, kitchenware is in the middle section as is the food shelf. Please ask any of our volunteers for help should you need assistance.
