Family Pathways thrift stores are a great place to hunt for bargains, be it clothing, household goods, furniture, or clothing. And, best of all, the proceeds go to help programs and services for families, youths, and senior citizens!

If you would like to volunteer at the thrift store you would be able to assist on the sales floor, sort and price merchandise, make displays or receive donations. The thrift stores provide an excellent way to fulfill community service requirements for work, school, or church.
