Money generated from the sale of items at two area thrift stores help support charities.
The Salvation Army Thrift Store on Park Avenue and Goodwill Industries of Kentucky’s store on L. Rogers Wells Boulevard both sell clothing, small appliances and furniture.
Money raised through the Salvation Army’s Thrift store is used to help fund some of its programs.
“The money that is generated from the sale of clothing or whatever we sell here is turned back to the community,” said Rondal Buford, a member of the Salvation Army’s board of directors. “We assist people with rent, utilities and things of that nature. It’s not pocketed anywhere. It goes back to the community.”
Approximately 40 to 50 percent of the funding for the Salvation Army’s rent and utility assistance program comes from the thrift store.
Money from the sale of the same type of items at the Goodwill store is used to support the salaries of disabled or disadvantaged Goodwill employees.
“We work with a lot of people who have a wide range of disabilities or who are disadvantaged,” said Lennea Wooten, district manager.
Both thrift stores are in need of donations.
“We’re always soliciting donations. We take all types of donations — furniture, appliances, clothes,” Buford said.
Anyone who has anything they would like to donate to the Salvation Army store can call and someone will pick up the items, he said.
Those who would like to make donations to Goodwill Industries may drop the items off at the store on L. Rogers Wells Boulevard. Wooten pointed out that those who bring items to Goodwill Industries’ thrift store receive an income tax deduction for making donations.
