We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again… We need you. We can’t do this alone.

Impact Thrift Stores’ mission is to financially support charities and make a difference in our local community. With your help and generosity, we have seen many lives changed for the better. This time of year, we also experience a lull in donations due to winter weather as you can well imagine, so those of you who do donate now are truly heroes!
