The money raised from donated items goes directly back into the county and its citizens. Many families benefit either directly from donations by being able to purchase your gently-used items at a low-cost from our Lost, But Found Thrift Store. However, families also benefit from the money attributed to those sales via programs such as our emergency pantry, the Bread of Life Food Distribution, financial services and mentorship programs. Each payment for disposal of unusable, broken, or soiled items comes at a cost. These costs take away from the ability to help more individuals or to launch additional programing.
