Each sale at the Our House Thrift Store directly supports the Our House Domestic Violence Shelter. Those wishing to offer help outside of buying may consider donating clothing, toys, furniture, or other items.

“Anyone wanting to make a donation just has to drive up to the back door between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.,” Mumtean said. “We give tax forms to them. They can donate anything. What we need right now is furniture because of the women’s shelter. We need furniture, household goods, and good, clean shoes — especially for children.”
