Thrift Store Volunteers
Suitable for Seniors

You will find an array of new, used and slightly bruised items for home, kitchen and personal use. With the assistance of volunteers, donated items are turned into funds that the food bank uses for food and operational costs —every purchase helps to support those in the community who need it most.
