Striving to Make Our Community a Better Place

Our mission – Through the power of donated goods, we train and support people to be their BEST! Everything we do brings us one step closer to living out that mission. In particular, our values guide us in the right direction. Belonging – We honor diversity within our organization, and treat people with dignity and respect. Excellence – We believe everyone can learn and grow and we support their journey to get better. Service – We focus on creating positive experiences for our customers, our donors, our participants, and our employees. Trust – We believe that accountability, integrity, and stewardship are imperative for success in our organization.
We’re proud that our work has made a significant impact in our community over the years. And we couldn’t have done it without help from our generous supporters and partners.
