Who We Are

Not only does the community benefit from low-priced items from clothing, to books, and appliances, but the store employs adults with special needs that we train and serve. So, when you shop at Our Thrift Store, you always get friendly service, great items, and superb prices.

Unlike other organizations, 100% of our proceeds go back into the GEAR Foundation's services allowing us to expand our programs and create more jobs as we grow in size and scope.

"Our Thrift Store provides opportunities beyond cloistered environments such as group homes or sheltered workshops. Our Thrift Store and Our Fulfillment Center assists in mainstreaming special needs young adults. By providing the opportunity to have the young adults work and interact in a warm and friendly public setting, the program is having a tremendous impact in improving self-image and boosting confidence. Most importantly, these businesses provide real hope for an independent life beyond an educational setting. In addition, parents are thrilled with the results and the promise of a stable future for their special adult.”
