The hands and hearts that make it all possible.
Friends & Family Thrifting & Thriving runs entirely on volunteer power. Every shelf stocked, every door opened, every neighbor helped — it’s all the work of people who choose to show up for our community. There are no paid staff. There’s no overhead drain. There’s just us, together, doing the work.
When you volunteer with us, you’re not just helping a thrift store run. You’re keeping prices low for families, freeing up more resources for Thriving initiatives, and weaving yourself into the fabric of something genuinely good.
