Helping those with limited resources reach their full potential and rise above their circumstances through support and development programs is another one of the many ways which the Charity Cottage Thrift Store is trying to positively impact the community!

Every sale at the Charity Cottage Thrift Store goes toward helping those in need get the tools and resources they need to fight poverty. The Charity Cottage accomplishes this by mentoring individuals in poverty as they learn business skills, go back to school, start their own businesses, and create a support system for one another! They also give back over 250 hours of volunteer work every week!

Kristen volunteers at the Charity Cottage Thrift Store while learning valuable business skills and is also receiving support to continue her education! Her volunteer work is much appreciated as she has become an extremely beneficial part of the LEAP (Lift, Educate, Advocate, Proclaim) program in encouraging others in difficult circumstances to pursue personal development as well! Kristen is working to grow personally and professionally so that she may be able to provide a prosperous life full of unlimited potential for her and her daughter!
