Serving as a group can be a very rewarding experience, and the impact on our store is huge! Adelante Thrift has volunteer opportunities six days of the week that are perfect for groups of various sizes and ages.  Many groups make serving at Adelante Thrift a regular activity.  Partnership and collaboration are the ingredients to sustainable community development.  Adelante Thrift offers service opportunities for individuals, groups, churches, schools and businesses six days of the week.  From sorting to cleaning or helping our customers, there's a spot for everyone!

Many refugees come to the country with little more than papers. Thrift’s low costs allow people, no matter where they come from, to have the dignity of providing for themselves and their families and knowing that they are part of a community. There was also a need for a thrift store as resettlement was booming and there was only one other thrift store in the area. Finally, thrift stores bring others together by functioning through donations, volunteers, and shoppers. And so, our mission drove us to choose thrift as a space where community could be uplifted, supported, and dignified by every person.
