Buy The Pound 

Store & Hopeline Resource

"Buy the Pound" Store
This is not an ordinary thrift store working in conjunction with the Hopeline program this store provides a means to those who may not even be able to afford some other thrift store prices. Offering clothing at $2 / bag, and many sponsorship, or service opportunities there shouldn't be a child without a coat or an adult without work clothes. 
Working in partnership with ETHRA, and generous giving of time from volunteers we are able to have a fully staffed store. To sign up to volunteer in the store click the link to the left and you will be directed to sign up.
