Thrift Program
The Sharing Center Thrift Program encompasses a stylish Boutique, a Furniture store, and a traditional Thrift Store, all serviced by a 4,850 square foot Donation Center. Every donation received is thoroughly processed to either sell in one of the stores to generate revenue to support our neighbors in need, salvaged with partner organizations such as book stores, metal scrapping centers, or electronic refurbishes, or outreached directly to families in need.
How Does The Thrift Program Work?
The Sharing Center Thrift Program is not only a major source of revenue to support our ministry, but also provides over $750,000 a year in clothing, household goods, and furniture to our neighbors in need. Last year, over 6,000 individuals were given clothing vouchers to be able to shop for their own clothing in the Thrift Store in Longwood.
I decided to use both dressers in my room and the bookshelf I am using the books and toys and the boy's room waiting to get the bunk beds in there to set it up. My whole living room is awesome and the green curtains I love!!! Thank you so much!!! You literally filled up my house with everything I need!! I absolutely love everything thank you!!! - Nikole, a mother of a LifeBuilder family who The Sharing Center supported during her transition into stable housing.
