• The thrift store is multifaceted in that it fosters self respect and dignity by providing attractive clothing and household items through a voucher system for those in need. All items are priced affordably so that most people can afford to acquire their needed items. We have an interagency voucher program with the school system through the social workers and homeless liaison, where they are authorized to issue our store vouchers to ensure that the needs of families and children are met. Additionally, we store coats, sleeping bags, heaters, fans and blankets that are distributed by vouchers issued by caseworkers. In addition, our thrift store provides resources and opportunities for organizations that offer workforce development for adults seeking to enter the workforce, who may possess learning disabilities or other challenges.

  Expenses $813,539

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
