COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS & GIVING


COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPFamily Thrift believes that it is extremely important to give back and strengthen the communities where we work and live. To accomplish this, our giving programs focus on Ohio communities in the areas where our businesses are located. The merchandise we sell (largely in part to donations made by you), helps us supply low income individuals and families within our community with low cost, quality merchandise. Our action also helps recycling efforts and provides you with a fun shopping experience.


In addition, a large percentage of our revenue, is used to fund charitable giving programs. Although Family Thrift stores are a for-profit business, we actively support NCCS (The National Children's Cancer Society). We pay them, our charity partners/vendors, for your donations of gently used clothes, shoes, accessories, electronics, toys, books, furniture and other reusable household items.
